Preston North End will host Luton Town at Deepdale on Wednesday in another round of EFL Championship football. The home side have hit a difficult run of form in recent weeks, consequently falling behind in the race for promotion. They were beaten 3-0 by league leaders Burnley in their last league outing and could have no complaints after a toothless display that saw them attempt just five shots throughout the game.
Preston North End sit 12th in the league table with 40 points from 30 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this week. Luton, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season but are well on course to secure back-to-back playoff appearances. They were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Coventry City in their last game and perhaps deserved more from the game as they created good chances but failed to convert them.

Preston vs Luton Town Team News
Preston will have to make do without Ched Evans, who is serving the second game of his four-match ban following retrospective action from the FA.
Thomas Cannon was chosen to lead the line in the absence of Evans last time out, but he is yet to score in four games for the club, so Lowe may instead go with Troy Parrott, who has now returned from injury.
Josh Onomah has made good progress in his return to full fitness, making his debut as a second-half substitute against Burnley, but he is still a little way off being ready to start, so Ben Woodburn and Alan Browne are set to play provider for Parrott.
As for Luton, Marvelous Nakamba has impressed since arriving on loan from Aston Villa on deadline day, and he is likely to keep his place in the engine room, playing alongside Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu.

Woodman; Hughes, Lindsay, Storey; Fernandez, McCann, Ledson, Potts; Woodburn, Browne; Parrott

Preston vs Luton Town Odds
We say: Preston North End 0-1 Luton Town
Luton games usually tend to be tight affairs, so we do not expect them to win by many, but they should have enough about them to get three points on the board on Wednesday night.
The Hatters’ away form has been fantastic all season, while Preston have put in some very poor performances of late, so the likely result is a narrow victory for the visitors.
