Nottm Forest prepare to entertain Preston North End at City Ground on Wednesday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. It couldn't be much closer,Forest having the edge 14 games to 12.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at City Ground was just last season, in August 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
