Preview: Preston North End vs Southampton – prediction, team news, lineups
Aiming to end their 11th consecutive campaign in the Championship on a high note, Preston North End welcome Southampton to Deepdale for a final-day battle on Saturday.
The Lilywhites came out on top of a five-goal thriller with Sheffield United last time out, whilst the Saints are preparing for the playoffs after drawing with Ipswich Town earlier in the week.
Due to their alarming consistency issues – failing to win back-to-back Championship matches since January 4 – Preston North End are guaranteed to compete in the second tier of English football for a 12th straight time next season.
Consecutive defeats to West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City recently contained all the hallmarks of a Lilywhites team already on the metaphorical beach, however, Paul Heckingbottom's men produced an excellent display at Bramall Lane last weekend.
Eckert keen to reward "outstanding" Saints support
Tonda Eckert is determined to reward Southampton’s biggest away following of the season with victory at Preston on Saturday (12.30pm BST).
Saints head into the final day of the Sky Bet Championship campaign knowing their place in the play-offs is confirmed, but with the incentive of three points potentially setting up a home second leg in the semi-finals.
More than 5,400 Saints fans are set to embark on the 500-mile round trip to Deepdale, and the head coach, speaking after Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Ipswich at a raucous St Mary’s, is full of gratitude for the support his team has received throughout the run-in.
