VIEW FROM INSIDE THE CAMP

John Gregory: "Another tough game that's for sure. They are rightly regarded as one of the sides tipped for promotion but we think we can go there and get a result."

Simon Grayson (Preston boss, pictured): "I know John Gregory well and we have had some good conversations. He is enjoying what he is doing at Crawley on a limited budget and they have made a decent start to the season so it won't be easy for us."

 

WE’VE MET BEFORE?

This is the fifth meeting between the clubs, all in League One. Reds won at Deepdale two years ago but we lost 1-0 there in March. Of that side only skipper Joe Walsh is still in the squad.
