North End face a tough test with the Robins venturing north, with the visitors losing just once in their last eight games.
But there are now different options for Ryan Lowe to choose from, especially with the late addition of Josh Onomah on deadline day, so how do we think he’ll line up his side?
9. CM: Ben Woodburn
With PNe having teh chance to go a little more attacking than last time out against Tottenham, Lowe could look to Ben Woodburn to inject a little bit more energy into the press, with Josh Onomah unlikely to be match fit from the off. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
10. LWB: Robbie Brady
Robbie Brady is an important and senior player at PNE so if this is the start of the run-in, with the Janaury window closed, you would hope he can be called upon to set the tone. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. ST: Liam Delap

12. ST: Ched Evans
One of the most in form players in North End's squad, Ched Evans is one of his side's biggest threats at the moment, and one of his opposition's biggest problems. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
