Preston North End host Blackburn Rovers at Deepdale on Saturday (April 22) in the Championship. The hosts have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and remain in playoff contention. Preston, though, lost 4-2 to Swansea City last time out, heading into the interval with a three-goal deficit.
They begun pushing for a comeback before their opponents scored a late goal to seal the win. Preston have picked up 62 points from 43 games and sit in 11th place. They will leapfrog Blackburn with maximum points.
Blackburn, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of results recently and could drop out of the playoff spots. They drew 1-1 against in-form Coventry City on Wednesday. Blackburn looked set to head towards victory before their opponents bundled home a late strike in an overall dull affair.
