Millwall v Preston North End live stream, Tuesday 1 February January, 7.45pm GMT
Preston will move to within five points of the Championship play-off places if they beat Millwall on Tuesday night.
Preston dropped to 18th place in the second-tier standings after a 1-0 defeat by Blackburn Rovers in early December. That was not a particularly bad result in isolation, with Tony Mowbray's men now second in the table, but it proved to be the final straw for the Preston board. Frankie McAvoy was dismissed as manager two days later, with Ryan Lowe almost immediately installed as his replacement.
Preston have only lost one of seven league games under their new boss. Lowe has made the team harder to play against and more effective in attack; Preston have scored in six of those seven matches post-McAvoy. A place in the play-offs is an outside shot at best, but it is testament to the work Lowe has done so far that relegation is no longer a concern.
Millwall are also safe from the threat of the drop. A run of three consecutive defeats was followed by a 2-0 victory over West Brom last time out, leaving Gary Rowett's charges just three points outside the top half. Only three teams have conceded fewer goals at home than Millwall this season, so this will not be a straightforward assignment for North End.
Preston will have to make do without Isaiah Brown and Joshua Murphy as they seek to end a run of four consecutive defeats by Millwall. Ched Evans could replace Cameron Archer up front, although Lowe is unlikely to make too many changes to his starting XI that featured in the draw with Bristol City.
Millwall will be unable to call upon the services of George Saville, Sheyi Ojo, Tom Bradshaw, Jed Wallace, Ryan Leonard and Daniel Ballard. Given the impressive nature of the triumph over West Brom, the Lions are similarly likely to stick with the same line-up here.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT on Tuesday 1 February. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
