The New Year begins with the Lilywhites looking to begin 2018 the same way they ended 2017, with a victory against a fellow promotion contender.
The late Tom Clarke header saw PNE inflict Cardiff City’s only second home defeat of the season, to move within a point of the top six on Friday night and on Monday afternoon they come up against another expensively assembled squad, in Middlesbrough.
They have recently seen a quick change at the top, with Tony Pulis replacing Garry Monk in the managerial hot seat at the Riverside, and this means that a tough, well-organised and hard-working test will be up against Alex Neil’s men to ring in the next year.
A big Bank Holiday crowd is expected at Deepdale and the ticket office reopens at 9am on Monday morning, so fans are advised to get down as early as possible, to miss the last minute rush, or take advantage of 24/7 sales online at MyPNE.Com.
