Preston North End v Bristol City team news: Paul Huntington and Scott Sinclair back in, Andrew Hughes ruled out

Paul Huntington and Scott Sinclair came into the side after being on the bench for last Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat at Barnsley.

Andrew Hughes missed out through injury, with Sinclair taking the place of Emil Riis who was among the substitutes.

It looks like a change of shape for North End too, having lined-up 3-5-2 in midweek.

The personnel suit a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Huntington partnering Ben Davies in the centre of defence - Darnell Fisher and Josh Earl filling the full-back roles.

Second-year scholar Jacob Holland-Wilkinson was included on the bench.

PNE: Rudd, Fisher, Huntington, Davies, Earl, Browne, Gallagher, Barkhuizen, Johnson, Sinclair, Maguire. Subs: Bayliss, Harrop, Storey, Rafferty, Riis, Stockley, Holland-Wilkinson, O'Reilly, Ripley.

Bristol City: Bentley, Vyner, Kalas, Moore, Hunt, O'Dowda, Nagy, Massengo, Rowe, Martin, Wells. Subs: Semenyo, Mariappa, Smith, Edwards, Pearson, Bakinson, Bell, Towler, O'Leary.

Referee: Geoff Eltringham (County Durham)
