Preston North End have one of the biggest games of their season this weekend as they make the trip to the capital to face Millwall in the Championship.
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.

9. CM: Josh Onomah

With six goals in six games it would be throwing the game away to not start Tom Cannon, he's an excellent player who is only going to get better. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
Saturday's game will be important for Troy Parrott at a place where he failed on loan in his first spell in the Championship. He's been lacking goals but doing alright otherwise and puts in mammoth shifts. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
