Preston North End v. West Bromwich Albion (12 Sep) [R]

[DevilDave]

Albion travel up to Preston tomorrow night to face North End. The Lilywhites beat top-of-the-table Cardiff at Deepdale on Saturday, and will be looking to further improve on their home form. Meanwhile, we need to begin winning matches away from home if we hope to stay near the top of the league.

Jason Koumas made his first first-team appearance for Albion in a long time against Leicester - if he is now fully match-fit, could we see him play longer at PNE?

It's likely the Baggies will face former Albion striker Danny Dichio. However, reported Albion transfer target David Nugent was sent off in the Cardiff match and will not play.

A tough match to lose. Albion seemed to create more and better chances throughout the match, but a combination of poor finishing and brilliant shot-stopping from PNE keeper Carlo Nash kept us off the scoresheet. On the other end, Preston's Patrick Agyemang delivered a solid strike late in the second to rob us of any points at Deepdale.
