Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom will be forced into at least one change for Saturday’s Lancashire derby.
It’s Burnley who head to Deepdale for a 12:30pm kick-off between the two rivals. Both sides picked up wins in midweek with PNE victorious at Norwich while the Clarets - who are now 21 unbeaten in all competitions - saw off Hull City at home.
For Preston there are a handful of first team players unavailable, though ex-Burnley man Robbie Brady could be back in the fold along with Emil Riis. However, it’s the second game of Ali McCann’s suspension while Ben Whiteman, Jordan Storey, Jack Whatmough and Duane Holmes are out injured.
The latter started at Norwich but was stretchered off mid way through the first half following a strong challenge from Shane Duffy - which he has since apologised publicly for. Minimal changes are expected from Heckingbottom but Holmes will of course need replacing.
Here is our predicted XI to start against Scott Parker’s side!
9. CAM: Brad Potts
Sam Greenwood could well get the nod at home. But, Potts played well in midfield on Tuesday and he was given the nod at Turf Moor in that role. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
10. CAM: Mads Frokjaer
Was outstanding at Norwich and has put in some top performances of late. He could have a big say on Saturday's match if he reaches those levels once again. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. ST: Milutin Osmajic
He's been the starter up top of late when fit. Recovery will be key for the Montenegrin but he should be fired up and raring to go on derby day. | Getty Images
