Norwich City are back on the road for the second time this week, heading north to face Preston North End in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday (KO 3pm).
The Canaries will be hoping for a better return than their midweek trip to Sheffield Wednesday where a two-goal lead slipped away in the final 15 minutes.
Norwich remain sixth in the table while Preston are just five points behind in eighth, and with a game in hand.
**The Opposition**
After a good start to the season, the Lilywhites found themselves topping the table briefly but they failed to maintain that form.
Spells without a victory followed and they dropped as far as 14th.
However, since the start of the new year, they have refound form and now have seven wins in their last 12.
**One to Watch
Emil Riis** Danish forward Emil Riis missed the first half of the season, making his first league appearance against Sheffield Wednesday on December 29. In the 16 appearances since then, he has netted six times and registered three assists making his a dangerous prospect.

**The Manager
Ryan Lowe** Preston North End are Ryan Lowe's third permanent head coaching role after Bury and Plymouth Argyle. He guided both Bury and Plymouth to promotion from League Two to League One, and joined Preston in December 2021. They have finished 13th and 12th twice under Lowe. **Last Time Out** When the sides met at Carrow Road in early December, they played out a goalless draw. David Wagner's side held the upper hand throughout the contest but a resilient Preston sat into a solid defensive shape and proved difficult to break down. **Ref Watch** Andrew Kitchen is the referee for the fixture at Deepdale, with James Wilson and Craig Taylor acting as assistants. The fourth official will be David Webb. **How to Follow**
