Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom has two new signings in the building for Saturday’s clash against Portsmouth.
The Lilywhites concluded permanent deals for Callum Lang and Andrew Moran on transfer deadline day, from Portsmouth and Brighton respectively.
One player who has departed since last weekend’s draw at Ipswich Town is midfielder Mads Frokjaer - the Dane completed a move to Brondby this week.
Jordan Storey will be welcomed back from his one-match ban; it remains to be seen whether Heckingbottom tinkers a defence which performed well last time out.
As far as injuries are concerned, North End look set to remain without Daniel Iversen, Andrew Hughes and Brad Potts while Milutin Osmajic is still banned.
Here is our predicted XI to start against John Mousinho’s side...

6. CM: Ben Whiteman
He's started every league game he has been available for this season so a straightforward prediction. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts

7. CM: Ali McCann
The trio of him, Whiteman and Jordan Thompson were magnificent last weekend. All three will hope to keep their spots but at home, Heckingbottom may well opt to select another attacker. | CameraSport - Shaun Brooks

8. LWB: Thierry Small
PNE could do to get him going again and on the back of a decent showing at Ipswich, Small should be raring to go again. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
