Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s men have lost just two of their last 12 matches in the Sky Bet Championship, with five wins and five draws from that run of fixtures.
As a result of that recent positive sequence, Rangers have climbed back into the top half of the table into eleventh – nine points off the play-offs.
Saturday’s opponents Preston are in fine fettle themselves, however, having won five of their last eight games.
Simon Grayson’s side beat rock-bottom Bolton Wanderers 2-1 last weekend, and currently sit one place and two points above the Hoops in the table.
Hasselbaink is unlikely to shuffle his pack too much for the trip to Lancashire, having named an unchanged side for the recent victories over Derby County and Brentford in W12.
In-form duo Tjaronn Chery and Sebastian Polter are again expected to lead the line in attack, with Conor Washington – who received a first call-up to the Northern Ireland national squad earlier this week – likely to be named amongst the R’s substitutes.
North End will check on the fitness of Alan Browne and Paul Huntington.
Browne has missed two games with a hip problem, while a calf injury kept Huntington out of the win at Bolton last weekend.
An attempt to recall Ben Davies from his loan with Newport as cover in defence, has hit red tape over the need to get international clearance.
