Hull City vs Preston North End confirmed starting XIs and team news as Leeds United loan man absent

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has made a couple of changes for the Easter Monday clash at Hull City.

Patrick Bauer is back on the bench and there is a rare appearance in the squad for under-19 midfielder Kaedyn Kamara. Missing out once again are Freddie Woodman, Jack Whatmough, Brad Potts, Ali McCann and Ryan Ledson, while Will Keane is also not in the squad.
