Preston North End will look to put an end to their five game winless league streak as they make the trip to Sunderland on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

The Lilywhites narrowly lost to boss Paul Heckingbottom's former side Sheffield United on the weekend to see themselves without a win in the Championship since defeating Norwich City on 11 February (D3 L2).

Sunderland, however, have won their past two games to remain within eight points of the top two and are now 15 points clear of seventh-placed Bristol City in the play-off places.

The Black Cats drew at Preston in a goalless reverse fixture back in November.
