History of the Preston North End v Wimbledon fixture

Preston NE prepare to entertain Wimbledon at Deepdale on Saturday morning, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. Only 1 wins have been recorded in the 5 games, with 2 ending in defeat.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Deepdale was less than a year ago, in December 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 3-5 winners in a League Division One match.
