Preston North End will host Huddersfield Town at Deepdale on Monday (December 26) in the Championship. The hosts have had mixed results this season but remain in playoff reckoning. Preston lost 1-0 to struggling Queens Park Rangers in their last game. They fell behind just before the hour mark and failed to find their way back despite creating chances to draw level.
Preston are seventh in the league with 34 points from 23 games and will enter the playoff spots with a win. Huddersfield, meanwhile, have endured a near-abysmal campaign and look a shadow of the side that made the playoffs final last season. They lost 2-0 to Watford in their last game and would have no complaints after failing to create enough noteworthy chances.
The visitors are rock-bottom in the Championship with just 19 points from 22 games.

Preston vs Huddersfield Team News
Preston have welcomed Robbie Brady back to first-team training as Lowe’s men prepare for a clash with Huddersfield on Monday, but the winger will not be available for selection just yet after time out with a calf injury.
Alan Browne, Sean Maguire, Ali McCann and Andrew Hughes have also returned to training in some form this week, with Lowe hopeful two of that quartet will be involved in the matchday squad on Monday. Troy Parrott is now the only long-term absentee for the Lilywhites and is expected back sometime in January after sustaining a hamstring injury in the win at Norwich City during October.
Huddersfield are hoping that midfielder David Kasumu will be available for the trip to Deepdale after an ankle injury settled down enough to allow him to train over the last week. Tino Anjorin has returned to his parent club Chelsea after ankle surgery, and it is unknown whether the youngster will feature for Town again this season.
Matty Pearson has commenced light training for Huddersfield, but Monday will come too soon for the 29-year-old defender, who suffered a broken foot at the end of the last campaign.
