The festive football is coming thick and fast for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, who are back on the road this evening.
Just three days after PNE’s Boxing Day draw against Stoke City, the Lilywhites make the trip to North Wales to face Wrexham tonight.
North End currently sit fifth in the Championship standings and will be looking to head into the new year in the play-off positions.
Heckingbottom's men face the Red Dragons for the third time this season in all competitions, but are yet to come out on top in either meeting.
We’ve taken a look at the early team and injury news from both camps ahead of this evening’s showdown at the Racecourse Ground.

2. James McClean - Out
McClean was charged by the FA for violent conduct after an incident against Swansea City earlier in the month, which has led to a three-game ban. The midfielder will continue to serve his suspension this evening. | Getty Images
3. Lewis Dobbin - Doubt
Dobbin was a surprise absentee from the trip to the Bet365 Stadium, with McCall admitting after the stalemate that the forward had been sidelined with a minor muscle issue. Heckingbottom’s No.2 was unsure whether the Everton loanee would be fit to feature in North Wales. | CameraSport - Rob Newell
4. Lewis O'Brien - Out
The midfielder suffered knee and shoulder injuries late in Wrexham’s 2-1 defeat to Swansea City before Christmas, which will keep him out of action. | Getty Images
