Ryan Lowe’s side are also looking to make it four games unbeaten at home, having won one and drawn two of their last three games on home turf.
The North End boss should have a full squad to choose from for the game, aside from long term absentees Emil Riis and Ali McCann, so has some decisions to make ahead of the weekend.
Here’s how we think he could line up his side...

3. CB: Jordan Storey
Aside from Woodman, Jordan Storey has played the most minutes of any North End player this season and he kept some expensive forwards of Watford's quiet at the weekend. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
4. CB: Bambo Diaby
Bambo Diaby is a really infectious character and seeing him do well in the North End first team at the moment is good to watch, his pace and power is proving tough for forwards to deal with. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
