Preston

The "Invincibles" had a promising start to the current season and even spent some time at the top of the table. However, their results began to decline from around mid-autumn, and currently, Ryan Lowe's team occupies ninth place, trailing the top six by four points. In the previous round, the Lilywhites hosted Hull and only managed a 0-0 draw. Nevertheless, Preston extended their unbeaten run to seven matches, with four victories in their last four encounters. In their last two home games, Ryan Lowe's side played to draws, but prior to that, they had a three-match winning streak.

Stoke City

The "Potters" are focused on maintaining their position in the Championship this season. Compared to their bottom-table competitors, Alex Neil's team doesn't particularly stand out and currently sits in 22nd place after 36 rounds. Stoke City slipped into the relegation zone after the last four rounds, losing three matches and winning only one during this period. However, the situation is not yet dire, as Stoke City trails Huddersfield only on goal difference, and the gap to QPR and Birmingham is just one point. In the last round, Stoke City suffered a 0-1 defeat away to Leeds United.
