Preston will face Sunderland in the first round of the Carabao Cup at the Deepdale Stadium on Tuesday.
Ryan Lowe left the position of head coach at Preston after just one game in charge this season and the fans will be hoping for a winning start in the new era. They had suffered a defeat in their first game of the season and will be looking to bounce back.
Sunderland escaped relegation last season, with three managers at the helm at various points in the season. Both teams suffered a first-round exit last season in the Carabao Cup and will be desperate for more from this competition.
