Starting lineups confirmed for Preston North End vs Coventry City with two changes made

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has made two changes for this afternoon’s Championship clash at home to Coventry City.

From the goalless draw at Burnley, before the break, Stefan Thordarson and Ryan Ledson come into the side. Captain Ben Whiteman is suspended and there is no Brad Potts in the squad. Ledson takes the armband, while youngster Kitt Nelson makes the senior match day squad for the first time.

Patrick Bauer, Ched Evans and Will Keane all remain sidelined through injury, but international trio Ali McCann, Robbie Brady and Stefan Thordarson all make the starting lineup - having gone away with their nations over the break.

PNE XI: Freddie Woodman; Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes, Ryan Ledson (c), Ali McCann, Mads Frokjaer, Stefan Thordarson, Robbie Brady, Emil Riis.
