Preston North End v Brentford team news: Unchanged side for PNE with Alan Browne and Anthony Gordon on the bench

That did not come as too much of a surprise, considering how well the Lilywhites had played in the 1-0 victory at Swansea on Easter Monday.

The only changes were on the bench, club captain Alan Browne and Anthony Gordon returning after suspension and injury respectively.

Louis Moult was again included among the substitutes after his long absence following a serious knee injury.

McAvoy looked to have stuck with the same formation too, going with a 3-5-2.

Before kick-off there will be a two minute's silence in memory of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away on Friday at the age of 99.

All players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect.

PNE: Iversen, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, van den Berg, Ledson, Whiteman, Potts, Barkhuizen, Riis, Evans. Subs: Bayliss, Browne, Moult, Molumby, Huntington, Sinclair, Bodin, Gordon, Hudson.

Brentford: Raya, Roerslev, Jansson, Pinnock, Mbeumo, Janelt, Norgaard, Jensen, Fosu, Forss, Toney. Subs: Goode, Canos, Macondes, Ghoddos, Reid, Sorensen, Stevens, Bistrup, Daniels.

Referee: Tony Harrington (Cleveland)
