BOTH Preston North End and Coventry have surprised the pundits so far this season.

Both were tipped for promotion and both have so far stuttered.

Coventry have been better at picking up the points so far, but Preston are also hitting form - and tonight's game is a test of just how good PNE are.

After last season's thrasing both home and away in the Worthington Cup, a victory would be just the trick to show doubters that Preston can go all the way.

With only Rob Edwards a worry for tonight, Moyes will be confident he has his near-best first eleven available.

Lee Cartwright, scorer on Saturday, believes tonight's game will be a totally different affair.

He said: "Coventry were relegated last season and that can affect players.

"They have changed manager and lost some players, so I think it will be a totally different game."

He added: "Everyone here is playing well. It just flows from winning and getting confidence from that.

"It will be a test though."
