The Fan Zone

PNEFC_Stats : It’s now four unbeaten for Preston who face Charlton in the league for the first time in over five years. Despite losing a two-goal lead in midweek at Hull, confidence should be high as Preston are still unbeaten in the league at Deepdale this season.

Andrew Hughes returns from suspension and will come back in to the side.

Former Charlton player Thierry Small will be looking to build on getting his first goal for Preston in midweek.

Pol Valentin is out with a hamstring injury and joins Robbie Brady, Jordan Thompson, Will Keane and Brad Potts on the sidelines, all of whom remain unavailable through injury.

Prediction: 2-1

Stuart Court (Cafc Facts and Stats): A good point away from home at Derby on Tuesday and unbeaten in September with an average of two points a game.

However, Charlton looked leggy in that second half on Tuesday after Saturday's efforts v Blackburn, so that was not surprising. Though in fairness they still had a couple of late chances to win it

It will be interesting what the side will look like this Saturday. It’s been a hard few days already for the majority of the Charlton side.

One last push before a two week break, so another opportunity to come away with at least a point.

With Storm Amy in force on Saturday afternoon, this could be a hard watch for all concerned.

Keep safe

Prediction: 1-1
