Lewis Gibson has recovered from the neck injury which forced him off in the win over Derby County and he'll be available this weekend. There are no fresh injury concerns, although Jordan Thompson, Robbie Brady and Will Keane are still ruled out. The Visitors After making it into the top six last season, Bristol City saw change at the top as Liam Manning departed and in came former Barnsley and New York Red Bulls boss Gerhard Struber. The Austrian has enjoyed a positive start to life at Ashton Gate, accumulating 11 points from their opening six league matches, sitting third in the table going into the weekend’s round of fixtures. Anis Mehmeti has been the Robins’ main source of goals so far this season, while former North End striker Emil Riis has netted three for his new club. Match Officials Referee: Bobby Madley Assistant Referees: Emily Carney and Carl Fitch-Jackson Fourth Official: Zac Kennard-Kettle Experienced official Bobby Madley will take charge of Saturday’s match. It’ll be the first time he’s refereed PNE since New Year’s Day, while his previous visit to Deepdale was the remarkable 17-16 penalty shootout victory over Fulham last September. So far this season, Madley has shown 21 yellow cards and one red in five matches. Madley, a woman and the off spring of Trevor Kettle, may the Lord have mercy on our souls
