Preston North End face a quick turnaround from their Boxing Day draw at Stoke City.
It’s now on to Wrexham for the Lilywhites, who played out a goalless share of the spoils against the Potters. That result left Paul Heckingbottom’s side in fifth spot after 23 games, and the PNE boss will be back on the touchline after serving his three game ban.
Their next opponents - who drew one apiece at Deepdale earlier this month - produced a remarkable comeback on Friday. Phil Parkinson’s side came from 1-3 down to beat Sheffield United 5-3 on home soil.
Preston were without Lewis Dobbin, Stefan Thordarson and Andrija Vukcevic last time out, while Liam Lindsay was too ill to feature off the bench and Alfie Devine could only play limited minutes as a substitute.
In the striking department, Milutin Osmajic is back from his nine match ban. Elsewhere, Ali McCann made his first start post-injury on Boxing Day and Jamal Lewis also returned to action following his lay off.
Here is our predicted PNE XI to start at the Racecourse Ground!

11. ST: Milutin Osmajic
He's only just back so it could be a bold call but Heckingbottom may be tempted to throw him straight in for an hour or so. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
