Delighted Preston chairman Maurice Lindsay said: "Preston North End are absolutely delighted and honoured to have been awarded the opportunity to host this England U21 fixture. "As a founder member of the Football League since 1888 we have always been a historically resonant football club and this is a major thrill for us.
