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.

9. CAM: Mads Frokjaer
The Dane has been a major positive in recent weeks and is starting to effect matches how everyone hoped. The number ten role, for now, is very much his to lose. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns

10. ST: Emil Riis
Has added pace and power to North End's side upon his return from injury. Just needs that first goal ticked off; it doesn't feel too far away. | CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
11. ST: Will Keane
There's no chance of the number seven losing his place anytime soon. It's 11 goals and counting for Keane, who has just been an excellent signing. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
