Preston North End
Preston have been in the promotion race throughout this campaign, Ryan Lowe's side finding a second wind to lose just once in 10 games between the end of January and end of March.
Nevertheless, just like they did last season, Preston have dropped off during the run-in, collecting just four points from their most recent six fixtures.
Recent losses to Norwich City, Southampton and QPR have come without Preston getting on the scoresheet. They have also failed to net in five of their last six fixtures.
Lowe's side head into this contest with eighth place their likely best-case scenario, although dropping down to 12th still remains a possibility.
Leicester City
Leicester City make the trip to Deepdale to face Preston North End looking for the win that could secure the Championship title.
There have been times in recent weeks when Leicester have appeared to be struggling with the pressure of leading the table all season without quickly getting over the line.
However, Enzo Maresca's side have produced two entirely different performances to finally achieve their target, battling their way past West Bromwich Albion before thrashing Southampton three days later.
While Leicester undoubtedly rode their luck versus West Brom, they did what was necessarily to earn a 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium, ending a run of two 1-0 defeats in a row.
That set them up to face Southampton in the East Midlands on Tuesday, yet few people foreseen a five-goal demolition job against opponents who could have moved to within four points of Leicester with two matches remaining.
Maresca and his Leicester squad would have expected Leeds United to overcome Queens Park Rangers on Friday night, yet they were able to watch without being on the edge of their seat as the Hoops sensationally recorded a 4-0 victory at Loftus Road.
Depending on how Ipswich Town fare at Hull City on Saturday night, beating Preston on Monday could lead to the East Midlands outfit winning the title with a game to spare.
