Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Bristol City. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Bristol City managed 5 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 15 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ched Evans will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against Ipswich Town, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Ipswich Town had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Tony Mowbray will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 11 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Unbeaten in their last 5 away league games, including 3 consecutive wins is a good spell of form on the road.
Goalscorer Ross Stewart will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sunderland.
After a good 0-3 win for Sunderland in this pair's last league encounter, Preston North End will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
In each of their last 5 games away from home in the league to Preston, The Black Cats have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Preston have failed to score a single goal against The Black Cats. Sunderland have a good attacking record away to The Lilywhites in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
With only Ched Evans (Spinal cord) and Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ryan Lowe will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Tony Mowbray has a number of injury concerns in his Sunderland squad to contend with: Ajibola Alese (Unknown), Elliot Embleton (Ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon)
