Rovers’ game at Preston North End moved for Sky Sports coverage
Rovers’ game at Preston North End has been moved for Sky Sports coverage.
The switch has been made among the latest round of changes to be announced by the broadcaster.
It means the match will now be played on Monday, April 25 (7.30pm), two days later than originally planned.
The game is Rovers’ penultimate game of the regular season and followed by the visit of Bournemouth and final day trip to Birmingham City.
Rovers were victorious in the meeting at Ewood Park in December thanks to a Ben Brereton header.
They will be aiming to do the double over the near neighbours for the first time since 2000/01.
They were victorious in this fixture in November 2020, winning 3-0, ending a run of three successive defeats at Deepdale.
With that game played behind closed doors it means the Rovers supporters haven’t seen their team win at Preston since Paul Lambert’s first match in charge in November 2015.
