It will be familiar opposition for North End boss Graham Westley on Monday evening with Huddersfield Town the visitors to Deepdale for the season opener.
It was only four months ago the Lilywhites beat the League One Play-Off winners by a goal to nil courtesy of Chris Robertson’s second half finish.
Since then, both teams have gone through a lot, with Huddersfield beating Sheffield United in a dramatic shootout at Wembley to win promotion to the Championship whilst North End have done major surgery to their squad.
During the summer break, Huddersfield have strengthened their squad with Grayson raiding his former club Leeds United for the services of midfielder Adam Clayton as well as capturing Manchester United midfielder Oliver Norwood.
