    Time:90'
    • Preston North End
    • West Bromwich
    • 90+5' There's the final whistle, and it finishes goalless. Don't forget to stay with Eurosport-Yahoo! for live coverage of every Championship game.
    • 90+4' Shelton Martis replaces Mulumbu for West Brom...
    • 90+3' LONERGAN SAVES PRESTON!!! Mattock crosses from the left for Dorrans, who sends a powerful header goalwards but the keeper is sharply down to his left!
    • 90+2' Last-ditch corner from West Brom... the ball loops towards Bednar in the six-yard box and he sends an acrobatic volley over... but he is flagged offside anyway.
    • 90' Mellor takes a pot shot at goal but sends it wide.
    • 88' Plenty of industry from both sides but no sign of a breakthrough.
    • 86' Carter has the time and space to shoot from 25 yards, but drags a disappointing effort and Carson collects it easily.
    • 85' Sedgwick tries to jink past Reid down the Preston left but the defender does well to block his cross.
    • 83' Mawene heads a half-chance wide for Preston, but in truth this is a pretty scrappy finale.
    • 81' West Brom's Joe Mattock is down injured and needs treatment.
    • 79' Roberto Di Matteo hauls Cech off... Reuben Reid is the new man.
    • 77' Cech takes a corner from the West Brom right... caught by Lonergan.
    • 75' Pinball in the Preston box as Koren, Cech and Mulumbu try to for the ball goalwards, but to no avail.
    • 73' Dorrans crosses from the right and the balls is helped behind for a corner.
    • 71' Preston substitution: Veliche Shumulikoski on for Richard Chaplow.
    • 69' Bednar crosses low from the right and it bobbles through to Lonergan.
    • 67' JUST WIDE MELLOR!! He glances a header just past the far post from another Wallace free-kick! Preston so close to a breakthrough!
    • 66' Wallace delivers an outswinging corner to Jones, who sends his header into the ground and Mattock helps it up and over the bar!
    • 65' A change for Preston now - John Parkin comes on for Chris Brown, who has struggled to make much of an impact today.
    • 64' Zuiverloon is well forward down the right again, but his attempted cross is a poor one and it hits the first man.
    • 62' An early touch for Koren as he turns and shoots at the edge of the Preston box... blocked.
    • 61' Bad news for West Brom. Chris Brunt signals to the bench that he will have to come off injured, and Robert Koren replaces him.
    • 59' Dorrans hits two corners from the West Brom right, and both are dealt with well by Preston.
    • 57' Zuiverloon hits a free-kick and Preston clear for a corner.
    • 54' Dorrans lets fly from long range again... it's off target, well wide.
    • 52' Poor touch from Neil Collins and Bednar is in... Collins brings the striker down with a last-ditch challenge, but he got just enough of the ball! No penalty!
    • 51' Chaplow turns away from his man and tries a shot from a tight angle... wide.
    • 49' MELLOR!!! A real chance for the striker, who runs inside from the left and hits a low shot... straight at Lonergan. That what a real opportunity.
    • 47' Chaplow is caught in possession by Mulumbu after a sloppy touch 30 yards from his own goal... but the West Brom man is adjudged to have fouled.
    • 46' Second half under way - let's hope for slightly more enthralling action after the break.
    • 45+2' That's half-time, with both sides having just had their best chance of the game.
    • 45+1' JONES! Wallace's delivery finds the defender, who rises high but glances his header wide! A real chance for the hosts.
    • 45+1' Two minutes of stoppage time and Brunt fouls Sedgwick - Wallace will deliver again...
    • 44' Wallace sends a free-kick into the West Brom box and there are bodies tangling all over the place. Referee Bates says no foul by either side.
    • 42' Jara strides forward down the middle and slides a ball through the right channel for DORRANS!! Strikes but slices the ball well wide! A real chance.
    • 40' Brunt has another chance to deliver one of his free-kicks but he has not quite got his radar working today.
    • 38' Gonzalo Jara takes a snapshot, but it is blocked. Chances at a premium for both sides.
    • 34' A bit of a scrappy passage of play, with neither side keeping the ball well in midfield.
    • 31' Ross Wallace delivers a corner but Youl Mawene fouls in the West Brom box and the Baggies can clear.
    • 30' Brunt's corner is headed away and won Preston win a free-kick on the left which Olsson heads behind for a corner.
    • 29' Zuiverloon drives a low shot goalwards, and it deflects behind for a corner.
    • 26' Bednar pulls the ball back for Dorrans at the edge of the Preston box, but the midfielder scuffs his shot badly and it finds only the very offside Marek Cech.
    • 25' Wallace has the ball well forward on the Preston right but he loses possession to Mulumbu.
    • 23' Good work by Sedgwick to jink away from his man and dig out a cross, but it is over Mellor.
    • 21' It is a windy day, and the breeze may be to blame for some of the off-target passing in this first half.
    • 19' Brunt does indeed have a shot, but it is blocked.
    • 18' Carter brings down Brunt and this could be a shooting opportunity for the West Brom midfielder.
    • 16' That was a great run from Dorrans, and his low shot almost squeezed past Lonergan... a real scare for the hosts.
    • 14' DORRANS OFF THE POST!! Runs at the last man and strikes, but Lonergan gets just enough on it to touch the ball onto the woodwork.
    • 11' Cech crosses from the West Brom right, but sends it over Bednar and Preston tidy up with little difficulty.
    • 9' West Brom have made a cautious start - perhaps unsurprisingly for a side whose form has deserted them in recent weeks. Preston will mjove abovethe Baggies into second if they win today.
    • 7' Knocked long into the Preston area, but Olsson has strayed offside for the visitors.
    • 5' Brown glances the ball on into the West Brom box but Carson just lets it run through for a goal-kick.
    • 3' Preston's Eddie Nolan has an extremely optimistic pot at goal... it flies well over.
    • 1' Game on! West Brom kick off, playing from right to left in their red and white change kit. Preston in white and navy.
    • - It's a battle of third against second as Preston play host to West Bromwich Albion at Deepdale.

  • Summary

    • 90+3' LONERGAN SAVES PRESTON!!! Mattock crosses from the left for Dorrans, who sends a powerful header goalwards but the keeper is sharply down to his left!

  1. well done preston, a draw againt WBA was good, i hope­ preston get a play-off place this season and maybe even­ advance to the premiership

    From David, on Wed 7 Oct 6:24PM

  2. Sorry WBA fan. Nobody 'deserves' anything in­ football. Leagues don't have a human element.­ It's about points and goal difference and things­ like that! I'm a Blackpool fan from the 50's­ (used to be goal average then.)

    From william.vaughan4, on Sun 4 Oct 1:53AM

  3. the baggies are now on there way down , mowbray has­ gone along with his talent for keeping poor teams­ looking good, when in fact they are only mediocre

    From worried, on Sat 3 Oct 6:06PM

  4. was that an excessively defensive line up by RDM?

    From detrich, on Sat 3 Oct 3:31PM

  13. I honestly believe West Brom will be promoted this­ season and get back in the premiership where they­ belong and this time let us stay there.
    Preston too­ have been playing well which all makes for a very good­ match today.

    From rblackhurst2004, on Sat 3 Oct 10:10AM

  14. i remember when the baggies where good,
    lets hope they­ roll back those 3 weeks
