��Lilywhites to get back on trackBet 1: Back Preston 6/5 - KO 15:00 BST
The break came just at the appropriate time for Preston as they were in dreadful kind and in danger of dropping out of the Play-off areas.
They resume in sixth spot, but with just three points covering sixth to 11th, they cannot afford to make a slow start.
Alex Neil's males have a decent fixture to commence with as they travel to Luton, with the hosts second from bottom.
The Hatters had lost just a single of their final six, so they have been disadvantaged by the gap in fixtures, and with residence benefit all but eradicated, it will be tough for them to regain the momentum they had.
Forest to boost their promotion hopes
Bet 2: Back Nottingham Forest @ 9/5 - KO 15:00 BST
Sheffield Wednesday have enough points not to have to seriously be concerned about relegation, but they won't be creating the Play-offs this season, and Garry Monk's side had been quite poor in 2020.
Sabri Lamouchi's group head north, sitting in fifth location - 4 points clear of Preston in sixth. Automatic promotion is very unlikely certainly, but they are odds-on to make the Play-offs.
Forest are a much better team than the Owls at this point, and they are a huge cost at 9/5 to win at Hillsborough.
Tykes on their way back to League One
Bet three: Back QPR @ 23/20 - KO 15:00 BST
Barnsley are bottom of the league - seven points from security. They have won just eight of their 37 matches since their promotion to the Championship, which is the least quantity of wins in the entire division.
The choice are no globe-beaters, but they are safely berthed in 13th spot, and had been improving beneath Mark Warburton.
They should prove also strong at Loftus Road, this afternoon.
