PNE picked up their first home win since November 1 on Saturday, coming from behind to beat Wigan Athletic. This time however they face a different test, in Mark Robins’ Sky Blues.
There is little to split the two sides in the table so Ryan Lowe will have to get his selection right to give his side every chance of winning.
Ched Evans is available again, after serving a four-match suspension, though Robbie Brady, who was sent off against Wigan, and Ben Whiteman, who was sent off against Luton Town, are both still missing.
5. CB: Greg Cunningham
One of the most reliable men in the North End squad, he's stepped up when they've needed him of late and with Andrew Hughes potentially still out, he would bring balance down the left. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
6. RWB: Brad Potts
There's not much in the way of competition for Potts but with Coventry and their willing forward runners coming to Deepdale, his defensive diligence could be needed. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
7. CM: Ryan Ledson
With Ben Whiteman still banned for the Coventry City game, Ryan Ledson will likely keep his place at the base of the midfield should PNE keep their shape. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
8. CM: Alan Browne
The captain dug in when his side needed him to on Saturday registering an assist for the winning goal. Ryan Lowe will most likely stick with Browne in the middle. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
