PREVIEW | Preston North End vs Leicester City - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Preston North End welcome Leicester City to Deepdale this Saturday for the second round of EFL Championship action..

Paul Heckingbottom's men opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Queens Park Rangers last weekend. An own goal from Ben Whiteman put them behind, but Milutin Osmajic struck to level things up and secure a share of the spoils.

Leicester, coming off the back of a turbulent Premier League campaign that ended in relegation, have turned to Martí Cifuentes's to steer them back to the top flight. The former QPR boss made a winning start, guiding the Foxes to a 2-1 victory over a troubled Sheffield Wednesday side on Sunday.

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Leicester City winning 3-0.
