Both Preston North End and Plymouth Argyle are set to be without key players this weekend.
The Lilywhites head down to Home Park, after picking up four points from their last two games at Deepdale. Argyle have collected 10 of their 11 points at home this campaign, but manager Wayne Rooney will remain without one of his star summer signings on Saturday.
Here’s a look at the early team news from both camps...

6. Conor Hazard (out)
In mid-September, the goalkeeper underwent ankle surgery after a blow against Stoke City. He was expected to miss around 12 weeks of football, so won't be back for Saturday. | Ed Sykes
7. Ched Evans (out)
Player-coach, Evans, does not appear overly close to being available for selection. He hasn't featured this season and Heckingbottom said recently he'd had a knee issue sorted out. | Getty Images
8. Muhamed Tijani (out)
The Slavia Prague loan striker was dealt a big injury blow in early October. Tijani, 24, tore his hamstring in training and most likely won't feature until the new year. | Getty Images
