Preston North End will be without midfielder Ben Pearson for the visit of Bristol City as he serves a two-match suspension.
Pearson will miss out after picking up 10 bookings this season - his fourth suspension of the campaign.
Bristol City will look to end a run of three defeats, after they previously won nine matches in a row.
Boss Lee Johnson has no new injury worries, with Andreas Weimann (back) and Jack Hunt (calf) both fit.
Match facts
  • Preston are unbeaten in their last 11 league games against Bristol City (W8 D3), winning each of the last six in a row.
  • Bristol City haven't won away at Preston in league competition since February 2011 (4-0), failing to win on each of their five such trips since (D2 L3).
  • Preston are unbeaten in eight Championship matches (W5 D3 L0), the longest current run in the division.
  • Bristol City have lost each of their last two Championship matches since winning seven in a row between December and February.
  • Since his league debut for the club in November 2013, Paul Gallagher has assisted 53 league goals for Preston - 36 more than any other player in that time.
  • Bristol City manager Lee Johnson has lost nine matches against Preston North End in all competitions - three more than he's ever lost against any other side during his managerial career.
 
My guess is they will come at us like a steam train from the off, if they win the toss they will want to kick off if they don't then hope city will play to away fans in second half
 
I don't think this will be an easy game and as you say they will probably hit us with all guns blazing and so we need to keep our cool and try and play the match at our liking if possible.

MAYBE Semenyo will get 15 mins?
 
Half time and still 1-0 to the home side. I would rather like to see Semenyo come on soon after half-time but I'm sure Lee will wait to see how it goes for a while before making his inevitable changes. Let the lad go Lee so he can show us his stuff.
 
Not bad - would've loved it had Semenyo gotten that winner, but ultimately a good day all round. Hopefully we play the shoddy version of Leeds & not the version that blew away West Brom.
 
Fair result on another day you possibly could have sneaked it, taking off the red card in waiting Kelly and replacing him with DaSilva made you better, rate Diedhiou works his arse off and congratulations on actually getting a point from us since Julius Caesar was a lad. Enjoy the rest of the season

Desilva is class better than Kelly signing from Chelsea on a permanent already agreed.
