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.
17. Liam Millar - 6
It started wonderfully for him against Plymouth Argyle and the Canadian will likely be frustrated not to have scored since then. But, the spark he provides is obvious and it's now about finding that end product a bit more. Has the backing of the fans and manager as a likable, expressive player. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
18. Ched Evans - 6
A miracle for him to be back on the pitch after that horror injury. Now about him getting back up to speed, which his first few appearances showed. Came close to scoring at Hull. Made a great impact at Rovers. | Getty Images
19. Will Keane - 7
A frustrating spell on the sidelines after that great start, but his early goals and performances were huge in PNE's winning run. Got to now go again and get himself back among the goals. Has boosted Preston's front line and provides Ryan Lowe with a solid option. Photo: Bradley Collyer
20. Milutin Osmajic - 7
Three goals to his name, Osmajic was always going to need time to settle into a new league and country. In the last few matches he has looked a threat and you feel he will get better and better. By all accounts, a fantastic character and real winner. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
