THE hunt for automatic promotion continues when Saints host playoff-chasing Preston North End in their rescheduled fixture at St Mary's.

Flynn Downes' late winner capped a thrilling 3-2 victory against Watford on Saturday to keep Saints firmly in the mix to go up automatically.

Preston were beaten 1-0 at home by Norwich City and they will be keen to respond against Russell Martin's side.

The game was initially due to take place last month but was postponed due to a fire at a nearby building.
