PNE have drawn three and won one, drawing 0-0 with Rotherham United in midweek, with Watford winning two and drawing two, last drawing with Birmingham City.

Could have scored in midweek but otherwise linked up well with Brady and Parrot and provides balance for Lowe with his left foot. An experienced head too, he could be more than useful against one of the best sides in the league. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
