Preston North End vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Matt Collins]

Seems like a good time to be playing them. They came into form but seem to have dipped again

We don't have too many options to change things. But I'd bring bjarnason in for whelan and adomah for el ghazi if they're ready to start

[Deano's Mullet]

Another 1-0 and clean sheet. It's all about three points.

[Pete3206]

2-0 win

[VinnieChase84]

Key players missing for Preston:

Tom Clarke
Ben Davies
Ben Pearson
Louis Moult
Callum Robinson
Sean Maguire

That's two defenders, their best central midfielder (although Alan Browne is in good form) and three forwards.

Think it will be the same as last season and we'll win by two clear goals, 1-3.

They had a couple go off injured today too I think

[Des Little]

Away win, and possibly the biggest collection of pissed up away supporters this season to boot.

Tom Clarke & Ben Davies were the 2 who were replaced today. ‘Coming back to fitness’ rather than injured.

Looking forward to going with 5,599 others.

If you were Leeds you'd be going with 5,600.

[footyskillz]

No 3-3
No penalties conceded
No Cheesie sending off
No penalties taken by whelan
Certainly no cabbages

3-0 villa

[Brend'Watkins]

On paper this is the start of a 6 game league run of games which are all winnable. This is where we need to start putting big pressure on those above us. Get those wins and our automatic promotion prospects will look realistic.

[LukeJames]

We got through that tough run with a very respectable points outlay. Now we need to make it count with our 'easier' run of fixtures. 1-2.

But telling everyone 9,999

I think Kodjia will start this one (and possibly Uncle Albert) just to keep things fresh, but can't see any other changes to the line-up. As SoccerHQ pointed-out, they're as injury-hot as we are so no reason we can't go there and look for the win. That's the great thing about Dean Smith - we know that we'll be looking to play on the front-foot wherever we go.

There have been a few times when we have played ‘injury hot’  teams, but they always seem to put on a performance against us.

I’m going for a 3-0 away win though.
