Who’s Available?
Ryan Lowe expects to have the same squad who travelled to QPR last weekend available to him again on Monday night.
Ali McCann, Ben Whiteman, and Brad Potts all remain sidelined and are not expected to feature again this season.
Striker Ched Evans could make his 400th career appearance in this fixture.
Opposition Focus
Having had a huge lead at the top of the table earlier in the campaign, automatic promotion seemed an inevitability for Leicester City, but a mixed run earlier this year allowed the chasing pack to close the gap.
Enzo Maresca’s side, in their first campaign back in the Championship following relegation, have shown their quality though, and an incredible 5-0 victory over Southampton in the week saw them take a huge stride towards the top flight.
With a round of fixtures to come before the game on Monday night, results elsewhere may see them seal promotion before a ball’s kicked at Deepdale, but they know three points on the night will be enough regardless.
Follow The Action
Fans can watch this match live on Sky Sports, and because of the selection to be shown live on TV, the game cannot be streamed on iFollow in the majority of regions worldwide.
Live commentary is available as usual, though, and you can buy an audio match pass here.
Extensive coverage can also be followed across the club’s social media channels and here on the website.
