Millwall are currently in fifth place, two spots above PNE but level on points. A win for North End would see them end the day in the play-off places with four games to go.
Preston will be without captain Alan Browne who was confirmed to have suffered a knee ligament injury in Good Friday’s win over QPR, as well as Emil Riis, Greg Cunningham and Ched Evans.
Liam Delap could return after illness, with Ali McCann training towards the end of the week.
5. CB: Andrew Hughes

6. RWB: Brad Potts
A man in form. Brad Potts has been excellent on the right flank lately and has even added a couple of goals to his game. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
7. CM: Ben Whiteman
Ben Whiteman is a key man in the way North End play and when fit, Ryan Lowe has very, very rarely left him out. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
8. CM: Daniel Johnson
The Jamaican has found his form again and when Daniel Johnson is playing well, generally, so are PNE. In a big game you need big players and he is one. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
