Bolton defender Jack Hobbs (Achilles) is out while full-back Andy Taylor is doubtful with a knock.
Goalkeeper Ben Alnwick (back) could be available as the Trotters go in search of their first league win since 26 December.
Preston boss Alex Neil could name the same starting XI for the fourth successive match.
Second choice goalkeeper Connor Ripley suffered an ankle injury in training and may be ruled out for some time.

Also please say Hello to our Resident Lasher, LBD who sits watching our matchday threads and like's my animations

*Middlesbrough 1-0 Leeds
 
Gutted I can't make it today, due to family reasons. Enjoy it those who are there. Be watching it closely on I Follow

That's probably the team I would have picked, though I may have started with Stockley and replaced him with Maguire on the hour. Very strong bench
 
In the prediction league I've gone for a 2-0 away win but I've a feeling we'll tear them a new one today. Somebody will get a hammering and it could be Bolton.⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
 
Hopefully show the necessary hunger and attitude required to return with 3 points and close the gap between us and the teams above us.
No room for complacency. Come on Preston onwards and upwards!
 
Disappointed to see Barky in for Stockley. All the clamour for a new striker, and AN gives him 4 games in which he's done fine, before dropping him.
 
no match can ever be taken for granted. If our work rate drops weve seen too many times what can happen.

surprised Stockleys been dropped but I trust the gaffer.

I don't think he has dropped him. I think he has looked at the opposition and thought we have a better chance with nippy runners and Stockley as plan B. Different plans for different games.
 
Absolutely it's a squad game. Have to guard against complacency today. Will take an almighty effort even to reach the top ten but we are capable.
