Alex Neil will not be treating Preston North End’s final game of the season at Bristol City tonight as a dead rubber.
There is nothing riding on the Ashton Gate clash in terms of promotion or relegation, with it being 11th versus eighth.

A good record to maintain

For the last time this season...
We’re closing in on the team being announced, for the final time this season, Alex Neil has not been afraid to shuffle his pack so far and it might be an opportunity to get a closer look at those who haven’t been involved much so far.
Team news
PNE: Rudd, Rafferty, Bauer, Storey, Hughes, Ledson, Gallagher, Potts, Johnson, Harrop, Maguire.
Subs: Hudson, Fisher, Huntington, Browne, Bayliss, Bodin, Barkhuizen, Sinclair, Stockley.
One change for PNE
Jayden Stockley misses out tonight, Sean Maguire instead comes into the side to lead the line.
It looks like it’ll be a 4-2-3-1 for North End, Harrop playing off the left, Potts on the right and Maguire down the centre, with Johnson playing as the no.10.
