North End will use the feeling of injustice in their pre-Christmas defeat at Sheffield Wednesday to provide them with an extra motivating factor going into the second half of the season against Hull City at Deepdale on Boxing Day.
The Lilywhites narrowly lost only their second game in 13 matches last Saturday, having played over an hour with ten men at Hillsborough, and will want to bounce straight back from that.
However, with an injury crisis for manager Alex Neil, it will be a tough task against a Tigers side who have been in good form of late, including a 3-2 home win over Swansea City on Saturday evening to move them up the table going into Christmas.
The clash between the two sides earlier in the campaign saw Louis Moult strike late on to snatch a point for PNE, after the home side had taken the lead from the penalty spot, but it was the visitors who almost snatched the victory right at the end, Paul Gallagher going close from distance.
