Preston North End predicted team vs Cardiff City with obvious decision for Ryan Lowe

PNE are on the road in the Championship this weekend

Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe would be brave to make many changes to his team for Saturday's clash at Cardiff City.

The Lilywhites saw off high flying Ipswich Town last time out - a game in which PNE led 3-0 at half time. North End have shown encouraging signs since the second half against Bristol City and Lowe could stick with an unchanged team in South Wales.

Kian Best, Duane Holmes and Ched Evans are all expected to miss the away trip. Holmes pulled out of last weekend's squad during the warm up, with a knee issue. Best and Evans remain on the sidelines with ankle and hamstring issues, respectively.

Here is our predicted PNE side to face the Bluebirds on Saturday afternoon.
