Preston have lost only one of their seven Championship home games this season
Preston are unbeaten in four home league meetings with Swansea, winning three times
Recommended bet: Preston to win
Having been predicted for a season of struggle by many, Preston have exceeded pre-season expectations and back-to-back Championship wins over Sheffield United and Southampton have them in play-off contention.
It is still early days in the season but just three defeats in 13 games has allowed Preston to find a healthy position and Deepdale has been a fortress, with them suffering only one loss in seven home outings.
Swansea have had a far more inconsistent start, winning just four of their 13 games, but they will be hoping Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Charlton can spur them on to better things.
The Swans showed their capabilities when making the last 16 of the Carabao Cup, where they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, and they have lost only one of their last five road outings.

Team news
Preston midfielder Harrison Armstrong, who is on loan from Everton, picked up a knock against Southampton and must be assessed, so Stefan Thordarson and Mads Frokjaer-Jensen may battle it out to deputise.
North End have a lengthy injury list with Robbie Brady, Will Keane, Lewis Gibson, Ali McCann, Brad Potts, Jordan Thompson, Pol Valentin Sancho and Adrija Vekcevic all sidelined.
Jamal Lewis has just signed for Preston, but the left wing-back will be given time to get up to speed.
Swansea, meanwhile, remain without Marko Stamenic, Malick Yalcouye and Zan Vipotnik while Goncalo Franco is also a fitness doubt.

Prediction
Preston go into this set of midweek fixtures sitting in sixth in the Championship, with wins over Sheffield United and Southampton providing the perfect response to prior defeats to Birmingham and West Brom.
The Lilywhites came from two goals down to defeat Sheffield United 3-2 in their last league game at Deepdale, which means they have lost only one of their seven outings on home soil.
North End are managing a stretched squad plagued by injuries especially well and they may be able to make the most of home advantage against the Swans, who have taken only eight points from their six road outings.
The Swans have won only four of their 13 matches in the second tier and they have a dreadful record to overcome at Deepdale, where they have lost on three of their last four visits.
