Our prediction for this Championship match:
Deepdale will host Saturday’s football game between Preston and Norwich City, the two top-table sides. The Lilywhites aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach. Milutin Osmajic is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a hat-trick in the midweek triumph, while all Liam Millar, Ben Whiteman, Ryan Ledson, and Brad Potts remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Canaries, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. Norwich dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday and seeing that they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. All Jakob Sorensen, Dimitris Giannoulis, Onel Hernandez, and Jon Rowe are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Greg Cunningham):
Greg Cunningham is a product of Manchester City football academy. Irish footballer, who was born on January 31, 1991 in Galway, though, made no more than two appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League. After ending his loan spells with Leicester City and Nottingham Forest the defender moved to Bristol City in 2012 and he played for the Robins from 2012 to 2015.
Creg Cunningham did well to win the Football League Trophy with Bristol City in the 2014/2015 season, but at the end of the season he moved to Preston North End. The Irish footballer has established himself as a first-team regular at Preston and it has to be noted that he was appointed captain of the team on July 24, 2017.
Speaking of his international career, Greg Cunningham made his debut for Republic of Ireland on May 28, 2010 in a 3-0 win over Algeria. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a centre-back if needed as well.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
