Preston North End have a short break to rest, reflect and recharge on their efforts so far this season, ahead of a bumper festive fixture schedule.
Ryan Lowe's men have endured the ups and downs of the Championship already, with a six game winning streak followed by a seven match winless run. However, North End got back on track in their last two games with victories over Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers.
With Preston sitting fifth in the table and some big matches to come over the Christmas period, we've had a go at scoring Ryan Lowe's squad once again. Players who have not featured much, or at all, have been omitted.
13. Duane Holmes - 8.5
He has just been a fantastic signing. Always a threat in the final third and does the other side of the game with no fuss whatsoever. Fitted in from day one and has not looked back. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
14. Alan Browne - 8.5
The captain is having a magnificent season on a personal note. His displays have been consistently strong and two goals in his last two games will boost confidence further. Doing the armband absolute justice. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
15. Ben Woodburn - 5
His ten league appearances have all been off the bench, with one start and goal in the Carabao Cup. Hard to judge his Championship performances, with 20 minutes the most he has played in one game and six of his outings for fewer than 10 minutes. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
16. Mads Frokjaer - 6.5
The Dane's quality is clear to see and he's done well in several games. The exciting thing with Frokjaer is that there still seems so much more to come. He has added flair to North End's team and is adapting to the intensity of the Championship with every game that passes. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
