Lowe experimented in pre-season with a 3-4-2-1 system, with two 10's in behind the main striker, which could be McCann and Woodburn this evening.

There are also places on the bench for four youngsters in the PNE squad, Jacob Slater, Lewis Leigh, Dana Amaral and Mikey O’Neill all named as Lowe promised during the week.
