The total points of the team on the table are 16. Preston is in the 9th position of the league table where they will be playing 16 matches and have won 5 out of them. Blackpool is all set to lock horns with Preston in the upcoming matches for the football event.

Jerry Yates scored his THIRD brace in just four games to earn Blackpool the derby spoils against fierce rivals Preston North End with a thrilling 4-2 win.

Preston piled on the pressure in the dying seconds, even sending up goalkeeper Freddie Woodman for a corner. Blackpool’s lead didn’t last much longer though, as Preston were awarded a penalty eight minutes before the break when Ekpiteta brought down Riis in the box. But Pool’s shot stopper stood tall to make an important save and keep his side in front. But the Seasiders rallied to earn the derby win, despite Preston’s late pressure. But fortunately for Pool, Marvin Ekpiteta was there to head behind. Bloomfield Road erupted as a result. The goal saw the energy levels and confidence flow back to the previously lifeless Seasiders, who enjoyed a spell of pressure as they hunted for a late third to kill the game. Blackpool looked to be running out of ideas and were resorting to percentage football; playing the ball up to Madine and picking out the channels. Nevertheless, it was Preston that continued to look the more likely as the Seasiders struggled to keep hold of the ball for sustained periods of time. The game kicked off to a cauldron of noise and it was a predictably fast start to the game, with both sides snapping into early tackles. The encounter continued to feel a little flat after losing all the intensity and tempo of the opening exchanges, with the atmosphere dropping off as a result. The striker bagged twice, either side of a Charlie Patino strike and a late CJ Hamilton goal, to get Michael Appleton’s side back to winning ways in both side’s biggest game of the season.

North End supporters will understandably feel that this is a decision solely made to annoy PNE fans who weren’t able to secure tickets in the away end today.

Whiteman emphatically cracked the spot-kick down the middle to equalise.

Goals from Ben Whiteman and Ched Evans weren't enough for Preston North End to earn a point in the West Lancashire derby at Bloomfield Road.

Skipper Whiteman stepped up and stayed calm to draw his side level. Substitute Evans pulled one back a minute from the end of normal time with a header of his own - courtesy of the post - and as Lowe’s men were pushing for an equaliser and Freddie Woodman went forward for a corner, the hosts broke forward and Hamilton finished into an empty net from distance. PNE were the side on top in the opening stages of the second half, but Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino put the hosts back in front on 68 minutes, and Yates soon got his second of the afternoon.
