Preston ended a run of three successive league defeats as a battling performance earned them a point against Norwich at Carrow Road.
The Canaries were looking to make it four wins out of five, having shrugged off their own slump from mid-September through October, and they dominated possession in the opening half, with Marcelino Nunez inches wide as he tried his luck from 25 yards.
North End, though, carried a greater threat after the break and Ben Whiteman's shot from the edge of the box hit the crossbar after Angus Gunn failed to gather Ali McCann's cross.
