Preston North End XI confirmed for Championship clash with Millwall

Preston North End have made one change for their Championship game against Millwall.

Ali McCann comes into the starting XI, with Daniel Johnson dropping to the bench.

North End could go into the top six with a win this afternoon as they seek to make it four wins in a row, looking for their first win in six against the Lions.

It would be the first time that Preston have won four in a row since the end of the 2020/21 season under Frankie McAvoy, and so far this season have won each of their games by just a one-goal margin.
