Footymad preview History of the Preston North End v Leeds United fixture

Leeds United travel to take on Preston North End at Deepdale on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Whites will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 5 of the 23 games.

The last time the two teams met at Preston North End was just over four years ago, in October 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a Championship match.
