North End face the Bees at Deepdale looking to extend their unbeaten run and continue their progression up the Championship table.
Alex Neil’s side will look to build on five points from their last three games as they host Brentford, managed by new boss Thomas Frank, who took over last week, following former manager Dean Smith’s move to Aston Villa.
The two sides have some exciting tussles over the past few seasons and will hope to entertain again under the lights on a Wednesday night, rather than the usual Tuesday, with the split of the Championship games by the EFL in 2018/19.
It is the first of two home games in space of a few days, with Rotherham United following the Bees to PR1 at the weekend, with North End hoping for two good performances and the points to back them up, in what will be two tough games.
