Blackburn could climb into the automatic promotion places for at least a few hours as the Championship resumes.
If you can say one thing about Rovers it is they are wildly inconsistent but 12 wins and nine defeats – including a 3-0 loss to bitter rivals Burnley last time out – was enough to put them third in the table heading into the World Cup break.
Star striker Ben Brereton-Diaz hit nine goals in the first half of the season to co-lead the Championship top scorer standings and he will be fresh after Chile missed out on a place at Qatar 2022.
Preston are one of the most stubborn teams in the division, averaging less than a goal for and against in their 21 games, and will climb to fourth in the table if they leave Ewood Park with all three points.
North End suffered a 4-2 defeat to Millwall before the break and will hope to get back to the resolute defensive displays that characterised their start to the campaign.
