Aston Villa visit Preston North End on Saturday aiming to stay in touch with the top six in the Championship.
Villa’s 1-0 win at Swansea City on Boxing Day left them ninth in the table, three points adrift of the play-off places.
Preston have lost their last couple of games, but Sky Sports‘ pundit David Prutton believes they will nab a 1-1 draw this weekend (11/2 with Sky Bet).
“Preston’s climb up the table has been halted by back-to-back defeats either side of Christmas, and they were both in games you felt were winnable for them, which will disappoint Alex Neil,” he said.
