Preston North End v Accrington Stanley Match Preview
The Lilywhites’ latest pre-season fixture sees Alex Neil’s men take on Accrington Stanley at the LFA Headquarters in Leyland on Tuesday evening.
Stanley stepped in to take the game after the clash with Bolton Wanderers was postponed, with the Trotters unable to fulfil the fixture, however, John Coleman was quick to come forward and provide the opposition.
The North End boss is pleased to still have the game, with Brad Potts set for his first run out of the 2019/20 preparations, having been on the bench for the weekend’s clash with Premier League Southampton.
The only two players who are unlikely to be involved at the County Ground are Darnell Fisher and David Nugent, however, both are in training with the rest of the squad and could be fit for some level of action at one of the two weekend’s games against Fleetwood Town at Highbury and Newcastle United at Deepdale.
The game could be a chance for more members of the squad to complete a full 90 minutes, with nine players completing the full game against Ralf Hassenhutl’s Saints at the weekend – Billy Bodin finishing his first full match in over a year, and scoring in the process.
EFL official Michael Salisbury will officiate the game, which has a 7.45pm kick-off
