Both Marco Silva and Paul Heckingbottom heavily rotated their sides and it was one of North End’s changes in Stefan Thordarson who went close with a rasping strike from distance after 12 minutes. Just a couple of minutes later, Harrison Reed looked destined to make Preston pay as he strolled on to a ball across the penalty box from Sessegnon but Liam Lindsay threw himself in front of the strike to deny a certain goal.
