Preston North End haven’t featured in the Championship since their 4-0 defeat to Luton Town last week.
The Lilywhites will finally get a chance to redeem themselves this weekend as they travel to Pride Park to take on Derby County, who sit bottom of the Championship.
Anything less than a win will be a disappointment for Ryan Lowe’s side, whose play-off dreams are all but over.
Preston currently sit 14th in the league - ten points from a top six spot.
