Deepdale trip a real test - Gunn

Alan Irvine's side picked up a decent point at Reading last weekend and currently sit in the final play-off place.Gunn said: "They've had a brilliant season. Alan Irvine is a guy I know very well in football. He's a gentleman. I spoke to him a few times last season, discussing players."He's come down from the Premier League, where he was assistant to David Moyes, and wanted to have an opportunity to manage on his own and he's doing a great job."Preston have got great facilities at Deepdale and he's got the backing of a good chairman and he's turned Preston into a difficult team to beat, as we saw at Reading with a 0-0 draw."By all accounts they were under the cosh for most of the game but at the same time it's a fantastic result and they've been winning a lot of their home games. So it's going to be a real test for us and we'll really need to be at the top of our game if we're going to take anything from the game."
