Match Preview

Preston's miserable start to the season continued in gameweek four as the Lilywhites were beaten 3-1 on home turf by Bristol City. Paul Heckingbottom's side have lost five straight matches in all competitions after their penalty shoot-out victory over Huddersfield to start the season.

Blackburn travel to face their Lancashire rivals having drawn 0-0 with Lincoln last time out, despite playing over 20 minutes with 10 men following Tom Atcheson's red card. Rovers are winless in three in all competitions but will fancy their chances at Deepdale on Saturday.
