Preston will seek a return to the Championship play-off places when wobbling Watford head to Deepdale on Saturday (15:00 GMT). North End lie seventh, outside the top-six on goal difference alone, but ended a four-match winless streak, from which they earned just a point, with a 1-0 home win over Portsmouth last weekend. Watford, now under new head coach Ed Still, are five places below, but only three points back, despite a run of six games without a win, which earned them three points and saw them score only twice.
