Tuesday Night Record Under Pressure

Last updated : 28 January 2008 By @pnemad
The record will come under scrutiny tomorrow as promotion chasing and high scoring West Brom come to Deepdale. Recent affairs have been tight with Preston just edging things but it is Preston who are now struggling at the wrong end of the table.

Preston go into th ematch after a confidence boosting away victory at Premiership Derby. Chaplow is set to be in contention to face his old club although ex-Baggie Darren Carter may once again get the nod after an impressive performance at the weekend.

Irvine now seems to have the strikers firing for the first time this season with Hawley scoring a doubleand Mellor bagging a penalty at the weekend with Brown also netting in his first three games for the club.

The defence is likely to be unchanged and will have to be on guard to stop a very forceful frontline including hitman Kevin Phillips. Preston will have to have a mistake free game if they are to pick up anything from this match and haul themselves nearer safety.
