Southampton will host Preston North End at the St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
In a crucial Championship fixture, 4th-placed Southampton faces 10th-placed Preston North End. With a chance to snatch an automatic promotion spot, the Saints are just six points behind third-placed Leeds and seven behind second-placed Leicester, with games in hand. Winning their last two matches, Southampton needs a victory in this penultimate home game to keep their promotion hopes alive.
Preston's playoff chances are slim, likely landing them in mid-table. With 63 points from 42 games, they have three away matches left, starting with this one. Recent form has been mixed, including a loss and a draw followed by a win and a defeat. While they've been solid defensively away from home, facing Southampton presents a tougher challenge.
