The Baggies have suffered just one defeat at home against the visitors since 1973. They have also won their last three home games while keeping clean sheets.
The Lilywhites, meanwhile, have been in decent form on their travels recently and have scored eight goals in their last three away games. Nonetheless, taking into consideration West Brom’s recent uptick in form and solid home record against Preston, they should eke out a narrow win.

West Brom vs Preston Team News
West Brom have no fresh injury concerns from the Boxing Day victory in Bristol but are likely to make some changes to freshen up their XI for Thursday night, with Brandon Thomas-Asante pushing for a starting spot after a brilliantly-taken goal at Ashton Gate to secure the points for the Baggies.
Daryl Dike was not at his best last time out, but Albion are a scarier side to face with the American leading the line, although with the 22-year-old’s injury record he may not be risked to start two days in the space of four days.
The talented Grady Diangana had to settle for only a substitute appearance on Monday, and considering Matt Phillips got himself onto the scoresheet, the ex-West Ham United winger will most likely be given the same role in this one.
