What channel is Stoke v Preston Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Struggling Preston North End are looking to kickstart their campaign when they travel to Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
The Lilywhites are rock-bottom and six points adrift from safety after failing to score a victory in their last seven league outings.
Graham Alexander has yet to oversee a victory since replacing Paul Heckingbottom in late September and he is hoping last weekend's 1-1 draw with high-flying West Brom can spark a turnaround in their form.
Stoke are likely to be a tough nut to crack, however, as they sit one place outside the play-off places after winning six of their last nine league matches.
The Potters failed to breakdown Bristol City in their latest outing and home fans will be demanding more cutting edge against the Championship's joint-leakiest defence.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Stoke v Preston on TV and online.
