Preston North End are back in action on Tuesday night as Huddersfield Town head to Deepdale.
The Lilywhites host Andre Breitenreiter’s side, with the Terriers scrapping for their lives at the bottom end of the Championship table. But, Town will go into the midweek meeting with confidence boosted - after their late win over fellow strugglers, Millwall.
As for PNE, the task is to close the gap - which increased to seven points last weekend - to sixth placed Norwich City. The Canaries have played one game more than Preston and make the trip to Deepdale on Saturday.
With Alan Browne and Liam Millar having both missed the 0-0 draw at Watford, last time out, PNE boss Ryan Lowe will hope to have at least one of them back. But, Ryan Ledson, Brad Potts and Ben Whiteman are expected to remain sidelined. Ched Evans could be back involved.
Here is our predicted PNE XI to face the Terriers!

5. RWB: Robbie Brady
Liam Millar wasn't even involved at Watford and Brad Potts is out, so we could see Brady operate down the right once more. | CameraSport - Rich Linley

6. CM: Ali McCann
North End need him more than ever, right now, and he isn't letting them down. Midfield options are extremely limited and McCann is playing well. | Camera Sport

7. CM: Duane Holmes
Didn't get on the pitch at Watford, where Jack Whatmough stepped in to do a job. He did that well, but at home Lowe could turn to a more attacking option - as well as an ex-Huddersfield man. | Getty Images
8. LWB: Andrew Hughes
Could've scored the winning goal for PNE last time out, but he's a fairly steady option down that side - if options are not boosted. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
