We go into the game having beaten leaders Carlisle last week, coming back from 3-0 down at half time to win 4-3. That result means Preston are now leaders and we travel to their Springfields training ground for a 10:30 a.m. kick off.
Academy goalkeeping coach Craig Mawson will again be in charge with Terry Pashley and Andy Farrell otherwise engaged in South Wales, and he'll be without three of the players who featured in last week's win, central defender Alex Whitmore and midfielder Jamie Frost who scored one of the goals.
Also out of the reckoning are goalkeeper Conor Mitchell and defender Cameron Dummigan who remain on duty with the Northern Ireland Under 17 squad.
The Northern Ireland pair weren't available last week and, for tomorrow's game, Waqas Azam and Andreas Bianga, both under 16 players, come into the squad.
Our hosts Preston are now three points clear at the top of the table with 22 points from 10 games. The young Clarets are currently in mid table with 12 points but having played three games less than Preston.
Our squad tomorrow is: Callum Jakovlevs, Charlie Holt, Luke Gallagher, Luke Conlan, Luke Daly, Nathan Lowe, Evan Galvin, Cameron Howieson, Jason Gilchrist, Lewis Nuttall, Brad Jackson, Andreas Bianga, Waqas Azam, Danny Eccles.
