North End could be the team most at risk of the drop this weekend - because mentally they have not been focused on a relegation dogfight for virtually the whole of this season.

Pundits predict an ugly end to season for PNE

That's the scathing verdict delivered by Justin Peach and Ryan Dilks from the Second Tier Podcast, who have made it clear the Lilywhites' Championship future hangs in the balance.

North End were dragged further into the battle for survival following a damaging 2-1 loss to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday. The defeat leaves Paul Heckingbottom's men just one point above the bottom three heading into the final game of the campaign.

It's been an awful end to the season, with PNE picking up just nine points in their past 14 games - winning just once during that period.

This has seen them slip from 15th on February 11 to 20th ahead of a now crucial final day which will determine their Championship future.
