World News – UK – Preston North End v Bristol City Live Game Updates from Deepdale

PNE welcomes Dean Holden’s team to Deepdale tonight, with the game showing live on Sky Sports

Preston North End is hosting Bristol City in Deepdale tonight. The Lilywhites want to return to winning ways.

Alex Neil’s men return to Deepdale after two disappointing results on the road in Luton Town and Barnsley.

PNE were beaten well on Kenilworth Road last weekend before a late goal at Oakwell was narrowly beaten 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Sean Maguire was on the points sheet for North End against the Tykes but his early goal counted for nothing when Barnsley came in from behind to win.

Bristol City has also scored zero points in the last two games and several players are unavailable for today’s game.

We bring you all the information about the structure, team news, live games and the score as well as the reactions after the game.

Gallagher sprays another brilliant diagonal to the left for Earl, who climbs well and heads his head into the Bristol City box in search of Sinclair. It’s well directed, but the ball just bounces before Sinclair can set foot on it and Vyner can clear.

At the other end, O’Dowda has too much space in the middle to drive forward and try to play it through Martin. « Close it », yells Peter Ridsdale from the booth – PNE manages to intercept it and report itself.

Cynical from the DJ as he overturns Wells who was trying to break – no booking for PNE’s number 11.

Rudd has received treatment and will continue for the time being. Connor Ripley was undressed and ready to come onto the field, but Rudd remains seated. The PNE goalkeeper looked a little uncomfortable a moment before before taking control of the ball with his feet.

Gallagher sprays a pretty brilliant 40 yard arrow at Barkhuizen, who doesn’t even have to move to control him. He takes a touch and uses his flank to find Maguire, but it’s a terrible delivery and goes back for a kick.

Jack Hunt is picked out in the bottom right, but shoots over everyone in the box for the first time.

North End is up in a 4-2-3-1 with Josh Earl pushing left first. Daniel Johnson is the furthest forward in midfield three, while Paul Gallagher sits next to Alan Browne.

Andrew Hughes impressed recently with Alex Neil, who said on Thursday that he thought the defender was « excellent ». .

He’s missing out, so it will be Josh Earl as left-back, while Brad Potts and Ryan Ledson didn’t recover in time either.

« To be honest, if he was missed for a large part, we missed him very much. He gives us size, balance, a good left foot. 1v1, he’s absolutely excellent Andrew.  » A. #pnefc pic. Twitter. com / OxcneQtN4Z

North End just finished his target practice when Josh Harrop produced an incredible chip about Connor Ripley. dirt.

We have to do the basics well, hold the ball well, defend well. If we can do that, we’ll give ourselves a good platform to win the game.

Today’s referee is Geoff Eltringham, who for the first time since 1. February, when Scott Sinclair scored in a 1-1 draw with Swansea City, was leading a PNE game.

Geoff has taken over 12 games with 41 cautions and three red cards so far this season. This will also be his first Robins game of the season.

The match will be assisted by Steven Meredith and Mark Jones, while veteran championship official Darren Bond will serve as fourth official.

Only the North End goalkeepers are on the field at the moment, but Bristol City have been warming up for the last ten minutes and are going through some pretty light passing drills.

Seven academy graduates at Robins Bench tonight when Tomas Kalas and Nahki Wells make it, but Jamie Paterson is out again with a hip injury.

Also absent from the Bristol City side: Steven Sessegnon, Nathan Baker, Alfie Mawson, Jay Dasilva, Liam Walsh, Chris Brunt, Josh Williams and Famara Diedhiou.

Two changes for North End when Paul Huntington and Scott Sinclair join the team to replace Emil Riis and the injured Andrew Hughes.

We have the two starting lineups for tonight’s game in 10 minutes – Alan Browne spoke to Sky Sports before the crash so we’re going to suspect the skipper is in the XI.

« I think your recruiting has been strong, it has been good, I think Chris Martin gave you a strong bond at the top of the field and in the games I’ve seen he’s been excellent for you.

« What they are is extremely dangerous, they are threatening, and they have goals on their team – that is something we definitely need to be careful of.

« You have amassed a large number of high profile players and invested well over the years.

« So yeah, they are a strong team, a strong squad, and their aspirations will be to land at the top of the table and they are making a good fist of it right now. « . «
