Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom could well switch things up for Saturday’s massive match at Bristol City.
The Lilywhites are fighting to stay in the Championship, as they head to a Robins side aiming to secure a play-off place. PNE have passed up several chances to secure their place in the second tier and will now look to avoid the drop on match day 46.
Ryan Ledson was back involved last weekend, playing 30 minutes off the bench, and could well come into the starting lineup to inject some bite and aggression in the North End midfield.
Leeds United loan man Sam Greenwood has also been pictured back in full training this week. It may come too soon for him to start, although a front two of Emil Riis and Milutin Osmajic did not work too well last weekend.
Ryan Porteous is fit and available should the PNE boss deem changes in central defence necessary. Andrew Hughes could also return to the back three after operating wide against Argyle; Jayden Meghoma is another option on the left flank.
Heckingbottom will provide the latest injury news in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, but returns for any of Freddie Woodman, Jack Whatmough, Brad Potts, Ali McCann, Mads Frokjaer and Will Keane would be a surprise.
Below is our predicted PNE XI to start on the final day at Ashton Gate...

9. LWB: Robbie Brady
Has been one of Preston's best performers, when fit, this season. Whether it's out on the left, or tucked inside again, the Irishman could have a big say on Saturday's clash. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
10. CAM: Sam Greenwood
It may well be too soon for him to come in. But with PNE badly lacking creativity, and Riis and Osmajic having not worked particularly well as a two against Plymouth, it might be a case of getting Greenwood out there and seeing how long he can last. | CameraSport - Alex Dodd
11. ST: Milutin Osmajic
The goals have dried up for him and Riis over the last 10 games, but Osmajic has been the one starting more than his fellow front man. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if Riis started at Ashton Gate - he has scored three more league goals than Osmajic this season. The Montenegrin has been preferred in recent weeks, though. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
