Wolves face a trip to Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wolves will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 32 and win only 13 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2008, the North End carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
