What channel is Derby v Preston Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Derby v Preston in the Championship, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Derby County will move out of the Championship relegation zone with a win over Preston North End at Pride Park on Wednesday evening.
The rescheduled game was pushed from the weekend due to Preston's FA Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa, which they lost 3-0 on Sunday, and Paul Heckingbottom needs to quickly rally his troops ahead of the trip to face the resurgent Rams.
North End's 2-1 victory against Portsmouth ahead of the international break has eased any rising relegation fears, giving them a nine-point cushion over the drop zone, but they are 10 points short of the top six so a play-off challenge feels out of reach.
John Eustace has worked his magic at Derby in recent weeks and three wins on the bounce ahead of the break means the Rams, now the form team in the Championship, are just two points away from safety with a game in hand.
The extended break has threatened to dent the Pride Park outfit's momentum but does mean Eustace's squad will be rested and ready against a Preston side on a tight turnaround.
