Preston North End vs Watford LIVE team news, starting lineups and score updates
All the action from Deepdale tonight as PNE host the Hornets
Preston North End are back at Deepdale for Championship action, as they host Watford.
It’s the Lilywhites’ eight match of the campaign, with tonight’s clash and Saturday’s Lancashire derby at Burnley to come before the second international break. Paul Heckingbottom’s side are looking to bounce back from a hugely disappointing day at The Den – where PNE were beaten 3-1 by Millwall last weekend.
As for Watford, it’s been a bright start to 2024/25 under head coach Tom Cleverley. The Hornets, who were tipped to struggle ahead of the season starting, have 13 points on the board. Preston will feel they owe Watford one, after last year’s second half capitulation resulted in a 1-5 thrashing.
