Coventry City are desperate to steady the ship after Saturday's humbling loss to Ipswich Town, and the league leaders will hope to bounce straight back when they travel to Deepdale to take on Preston North End on Tuesday night.
Preston, meanwhile, enter the midweek showdown in a confident mood. Paul Heckingbottom's side have taken five points from their last three fixtures, and avoiding defeat here would stretch that unbeaten run to three matches. The Lilywhites have been one of the Championship's surprise packages this season, sitting 5th in the table and just five points adrift of the automatic promotion places.
Deepdale has largely been a tough place to visit, with only two clubs escaping with all three points this campaign, but Preston haven’t tasted victory at home since early November, something they'll be determined to put right under the lights.
Coventry arrive still perched at the summit of the Championship despite Saturday’s 3-0 drubbing, which marked only their second defeat of the season. Frank Lampard’s men went five games without losing before the Ipswich setback and still hold a healthy seven-point cushion over second-placed Middlesbrough, though the Sky Blues will be eager to respond quickly to avoid letting the chasing pack close in.
