Preston vs Leicester City Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast
The Foxes are promoted back to the Premier League
As of now, Preston North End sits in the 10th spot of the league after suffering three consecutive losses. The Lilywhites have won just once in the last six matches. Even though they lost to QPR in the last match, they dominated possession and created a big chance that they ultimately missed, despite being in full control throughout the match. They have struggled to score more than one goal in the last six games.
Currently leading the Championship, Leicester City are showing impressive form. The Foxes have secured a place in the Premier League at the back of an impressive campaign where they maintained clear distance over Leeds. During the last match, they racked up a comprehensive 5-0 win with Fatawu scoring a hattrick. This tie is very likely to be won by the Foxes since the Lilywhites have lost the last three matches.

Will Keane (Preston North End)

In addition to being the focal point for the team, he has also held opposition defenders back with his movements. Even though the team has struggled to find form, he has been an inspiration to them on the frontline.
Abdul Fatawu (Leicester City)

With the left-footed curler, he scored from outside the box, his highlight of the goal was the goal he scored with both feet. He has scored six goals and assisted 12 others this season.
