Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom faces a difficult team selection this weekend, as the Lilywhites host Charlton Athletic.
After making four changes in midweek at Hull - two of those enforced - Heckingbottom must decide whether to stick or bring the likes of Lewis Dobbin and Ali McCann back into the fold.
Those two have been featuring regularly in the North End starting XI this season. He will also welcome Andrew Hughes back from his one-game suspension, with the Welshman likely to return to the PNE backline.
Michael Smith scored his first goal for Preston on Tuesday night and could retain his place alongside Milutin Osmajic. There is, though, plenty of competition in the middle of the park with Everton loan man Harrison Armstrong having impressed on full debut.
Here is our predicted PNE XI to start against the Addicks.

9. CAM: Alfie Devine
Heckingbottom is a big fan of Devine and has kept him in the XI; it's hard to see that changing here. If McCann does return it's not easy to guess who drops out. Harrison Armstrong could very easily keep his place after playing well. The Everton loan man went off towards the end, apparently with cramp. | Camera Sport

10. ST: Michael Smith
We have seen that Heckingbottom likes to go with a front two if he's got three strikers available. Smith's impact as a starter has been greater than as a substitute, and he's on the back of his first goal. Plus, Charlton have good size in defence and he should contest as well as anyone. | CameraSport - Alex Dodd

11. ST: Milutin Osmajic
Looking to get back among the goals after a minor drop off in the last few matches. If Osmajic came through Tuesday fine you'd expect him to stay in. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
