Championship action is coming thick and fast for PNE, who make the trip to Hillsborough this afternoon to face Sheffield Wednesday.
The visit to the second-tier’s bottom club will be the Lilywhites’ third match in nine days after last week’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers and the midweek draw to Watford.
Standing in their way of three points are Henrik Pedersen’s side, who currently sit on minus-four points at the foot of the table after entering administration last month.
The Owls have won just one of their opening 17 matches of the campaign and have lost seven of their last nine league fixtures.
Here is the early team and injury news ahead of this afternoon’s Championship contest.
