Preston: Seeking Consistency to Climb the Table
Preston North End have shown flashes of brilliance this season, with their dynamic attack spearheaded by the likes of Emil Riis Jakobsen and Ched Evans, capable of tearing apart any defense.

Coventry: A Resurgent Force with Eyes on the Top Six

Manager Mark Robins has instilled a winning mentality within his squad, making them genuine contenders for a top six finish.
Key Players to Watch:
