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.
