Newcastle come here on the back of three straight wins and Chris Hughton's side, who have a two point lead at the top of the Championship, look a touch of value at BP 11-8 to come away from Deepdale with maximum points.
The Magpies away record is a bit mixed this term but victories at Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Ipswich show they are a force to be reckoned with on the road and they face a Preston side who have only one win to show from their last seven games.
Alan Irvine's side, who sit in eleventh place in The Championship, nine points behind Newcastle, have failed to win five of their eight home games this season (drawn four and lost one) and The Clarets have shipped nine goals in those games, so they are not the most resiliant side in the league.
Only West Brom have a better goal difference than Newcastle, who have been buoyed by the form of Kevin Nolan. The former Bolton captain has chipped in with a fantastic seven goals this term and the midfielder is a big threat with his late runs into the box. He is a best price 11-4 to notch at any time and that looks a decent wager.
Recommended bets:
Newcastle - BP 11-8
Kevin Nolan to score at any time - BP 11-4
