Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom will be forced into at least two changes against Hull City.
From last Saturday’s starting XI at home to Bristol City, full-back Pol Valentin has sustained hamstring damage while Andrew Hughes collected a one-match ban - following his fifth booking of the campaign.
With a quick turnaround, and another game four days later versus Charlton, the Lilywhites’ boss admitted rotation was very much in his thinking. Daniel Jebbison is expected to return from the sickness bug which saw him miss Saturday.
Elsewhere in the squad, Heckingbottom has the likes of Liam Lindsay, Odel Offiah, Andrija Vukcevic, Harrison Armstrong, Stefan Thordarson, Mads Frokjaer and Michael Smith all pushing for an opportunity from the start.
Here is our predicted PNE starting XI to take on Hull City this evening…
9. CAM: Alfie Devine
It would be no surprise to see the likes of Armstrong or Frokjaer thrust in given the quick turnaround. Heckingbottom thinks very highly of Devine though, and he has performed well so far in a PNE shirt. Against a suspect Hull defence he could cause real problems. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
10. CAM: Lewis Dobbin
If the Aston Villa man is good to go he will be a difficult one to leave out. Dobbin adds spark to North End's side and if Hull afford him space he is capable of causing havoc. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts
11. ST: Milutin Osmajic
After missing a couple of training days in the week the Montenegrin didn't look at full tilt against Bristol City. But, with Jebbison having missed out through illness it will probably be Osmajic from the off again. He is the biggest goal threat of all North End's strikers. | CameraSport - Rob Newell
