Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe has made two changes for this afternoon’s match at Rotherham United.

Andrew Hughes returns to the starting lineup and Robbie Brady makes his first start of the season, with Jack Whatmough and Liam Millar dropping to the bench. It’s the third match in a week for PNE, who are looking to stay top of the Championship table as they go in search of a seventh straight league win.
