North End head to St Andrew’s this weekend looking to further cement a place in the top six and also record their first away win of the season.
The last away game, before the international break, saw the Lilywhites put on an impressive performance and take a point away from the City Ground after a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
They then returned from the break with a 2-0 home win over Brentford, whilst Saturday’s hosts were picking up a very good three points on the road at high-flying Charlton Athletic, with 16-year-old Jude Bellingham grabbing the headlines for Pep Clotet’s side.
The young forward have impressed since coming into the side and given the Blues a real impetus that has seen them – like North End – start the season with four wins from their opening seven games, sitting eighth on the same points as fifth placed PNE.
The two sides have traded blows over recent seasons, with Alex Neil’s men winning in the second city two year’s ago this week, and – what was then Garry Monk’s City – winning 3-0 last season. So it should be another competitive game this season.
