Andrew Hughes will miss out through suspension following his red card against Sheffield United.
After missing the last two games with an ankle injury, Josh Earl has returned to training but remains a doubt to feature this weekend.
Liverpool loanee Sepp van den Berg is in line to make his 50th appearance for the club, while Brad Potts is one game away from 350 in league action.
The Opposition
When former MK Dons manager Russell Martin was appointed head coach at Swansea City in August 2021, he expected a “season of transition”.
That has proved to be true, as his side seem to still be adapting to his possession-based style of play, which involves an element of risk, with the Swans currently sitting 17th in the Championship table.
They will be without one of their main men for this fixture, too, with forward Jamie Paterson currently training away from the first team amid doubts over his future at the club.
Key Stats
An appearance for Alan Browne in this fixture would take the skipper to 313 in all competitions for PNE, which would see him draw level with Paul Gallagher, putting him joint 23rd in the club's all-time appearance makers.
Joel Piroe, who scored at Deepdale last August, is Swansea’s top scorer so far this season, bagging 13 so far.
Swansea City are statistically the division’s best team in possession of the ball, averaging 66.5% in Championship games this term, while they also top the pass success rate chart with 86.1%.
Our Last Meeting
North End put on a fine display in the reverse fixture between these two back in August, coming out 3-1 winners at Deepdale.
Swansea took the lead through Piroe, but goals from Sepp van den Berg, Emil Riis and Ben Whiteman earned their side the three points in what ended up being a comfortable victory.
Man In The Middle
Taking the whistle this weekend will be Joshua Smith, who has already taken charge of two PNE games so far this season.
Smith refereed the away defeat against Reading in August as well as the goalless draw at Deepdale against Derby County.
So far this term, he has been the main official for 26 matches, showing 98 yellow cards and three reds.
MACS VIEW
Second trip into Europe within two weeks and this time thanks to the Druid in charge of the Principality fans are allowed they like to have lots of possession however at the moment the Martin revolution has not fully taken hold tend to make a few errors at the back. After our exertions on Tuesday amy see a few changes to freshen things up. Winnable but not easy. Coach leaves at 7am I'll be in bed cut and paste match report only
