Preview

Preston found themselves trailing 2-0 early doors against Championship basement boys Sheffield Wednesday last time out before staging a memorable comeback to leave Hillsborough with all three points. The Lilywhites ended a three-match winless streak with that result.

Wrexham were heading for a narrow away defeat against Blackburn in gameweek 18 before Max Cleworth popped up in injury time, giving the Red Dragons a point to show for their efforts. Phil Parkinson's men have followed a win-draw pattern for the last eight league games, helping them climb to 10th in the standings.
