Preston made the headlines last weekend during their defeat against Sheffield Wednesday with Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle making a name for themselves for fighting…with each other. The two Preston strikers have since apologised and the fine implemented was used to pay back the travelling fans. Simon Grayson says he was ashamed of the duo and they will both miss this match through suspension which leaves the Lilywhites with a sparse selection of forwards to choose from. They haven’t won in three games with their last victory arriving at Rotherham on the 5th of November and Blackburn have been closing the gap recently. Rovers have been improving under Owen Coyle as they look to clamber out of the relegation zone. They’ve overhauled Cardiff, moving onto 20 points and are looking far more dangerous each week. They could only draw at home to Huddersfield last weekend, but it continued their unbeaten stretch with just one loss in five. Danny Graham and Sam Gallagher will always be a threat and it appears as though they’ve finally found a settled back four. They beat the leaders Newcastle in their last away outing and aren’t the soft touch of August and September.
