We said: Coventry City 2-0 Preston North End

After the last-minute triumph at Sheffield Wednesday a week ago, Coventry will sense a brilliant opportunity to make it three wins on the spin as Preston come to The CBS Arena. The Lilywhites were impressive on the road against Norwich earlier this month, but we feel that Heckingbottom's men will struggle away from Deepdale this time around. Read more.
