Below: form, the head-to-head, and the goals, before any odds enter the picture.

When Stoke City and Preston North End have met
Few places keep football records as long as England does — the game has been organised here since the nineteenth century, and a head-to-head often reads truer than the league table. The earlier meetings we hold are below; a blank table just means there's nothing logged between these two yet, which happens often enough in cup ties that throw together clubs from different divisions.

Worth reading alongside the form rather than on their own — English sides can carry very different records home and away, and a goals column only tells half that story.
