Preston NE play host to West Ham United at Deepdale on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The North End are clearly on top, winning 7 and drawing 4 of the 12 games played.
The last time the two teams met at Preston NE was amazingly over twenty years ago, in August 1980, when they played out a goalless draw in a Second Division match.
