Preston North End have a much better home than away record. They have only conceded five goals at home all season. Only West Brom and Ipswich have a better home defensive record in the Championship. Moreover, Charlton have not won at Deepdale for over fifty years.
New Preston boss Alan Irvine could be without defender Billy Jones (hamstring) and keeper Wayne Henderson remains sidelined with a back injury.
The Charlton team more or less picks itself, presumably playing a 4-5-1 formation.
Keeper: Weaver. Defence: Mills, Sodje, Fortune, Basey. Midfield: Semedo, Reid, Zhi, Sam, Thomas. Recipient of hoofed balls: Iwelumo.
The Preston team will no doubt be out to impress their new gaffer, but this could backfire if they leave themselves exposed at the back. They might also tire themselves out.
Although I would like to approach the journey up to Preston in a more optimistic spirit, I have to say that this looks like a home win, 2-1 to the Invincibles.
