All the pre-match stats ahead of the Friday night action in the Sky Bet Championship between Preston North End and Oxford United...

Preston North End are looking to complete only their second ever league double over Oxford United, doing so in the 1999-00 campaign.
Oxford have won one of their last five league games against Preston (D1 L3), a 3-1 home win in August 2024 under Des Buckingham.
Preston have lost three home Championship matches in 2026 so far (W2 D1), only one fewer than they lost throughout the entirety of 2025 at Deepdale (W7 D11 L4).
Oxford United won their last league game, beating West Bromwich Albion 2-1, but they haven’t had consecutive Championship wins since January 2025 – the second win of which was against Luton Town, then managed by Matt Bloomfield.
Jamie Donley has been involved in eight goals in his last 10 Football League starts (2 goals, 6 assists), assisting on his first start for Oxford in their 2-1 win over West Brom last time out.
