LIVE: PNE vs Stoke City
Draw specialists Preston North End aim to break habit with win against Stoke City
Frankie McAvoy has his eye on three points tonight as draw specialists Preston North End host Stoke at Deepdale.
McAvoy has a positive view of the run of four successive draws in the league which helps form PNE’s eight-game unbeaten sequence.
But turning the single points into three will help get them moving up the table.
North End head coach McAvoy said: “It’s four draws now, three of them away.
“If you spread that over a bit of time you can say that is not too bad – winning at home and drawing away is a good recipe to have.
“At the moment it is four games we haven’t won if you take a pessimistic view.”
