Preston will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to WBA when they welcome Birmingham City to their Deepdale on Matchday 11. The Lilywhites are undefeated at home in the early stages of the season, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Birmingham City’s visit. Thierry Small has overcome his minor injury, but all Brady, Keane, Potts, Thompson, and Valentin remain on the sidelines.
The Blues, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Hull City. Given Birmingham City’s defensive struggles and Preston’s fine home record, we predict that the visitors will return to West Midlands with their hands empty. Speaking of the visiting side, all Laird, Buchanan, Duksch, Willumsson, and Wright remain in the recovery room. Defender Jack Robinson misses out through suspension for the visiting side.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 21 October 2025 at 19:45.
