PNE take on Rovers in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Friday night
Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe could name an unchanged side for Friday night's Lancashire derby at Blackburn Rovers. The Lilywhites returned to winning ways last weekend, after going seven matches without victory in the Championship. Sixth placed PNE face 10th placed Rovers and both sides have injury problems, with the hosts hit especially hard in recent weeks.
Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson tends to operate with a back four and so PNE, as they have done on occasions this campaign, may come away from their wing-back system and match the hosts up. Youngster Kian Best is likely to keep his place if Hughes does not come back in. Milutin Osmajic should start again up top; Duane Holmes and Liam Millar could operate wide.
