In The Dressing Room
Troy Parrott will miss the "foreseeable future" after picking up an injury in the aftermath of his first Championship goal for PNE against Norwich City.
Ryan Lowe is hopeful his side have recovered from a sickness bug which many of his players have been struggling with over the past few days.
Some players missed training on Monday, but everyone was involved on Tuesday morning before the squad made the journey to Bristol.
A Look At Our Hosts
Bristol City head in to the game following a below-par run of results, having picked up just one point in their past five Championship fixtures.
Their form which preceded that run was a complete contrast, with the Robins going eight games unbeaten, which included six victories.
They will be looking to correct their form quickly, especially after the weekend’s 3-0 defeat to Birmingham City, which boss Nigel Pearson described as awful and unacceptable.
Going Head To Head
Games played: 95
PNE wins: 34
Draws: 34
Bristol City wins: 27
Last meeting: PNE 2-2 Bristol City, 29th January 2022
One To Watch
Bristol City have a wide range of youth and experience in their squad, with the likes of Nahki Wells and Andreas Weimann offering great knowhow, combined with the rawness of youngsters such as Tommy Conway and Alex Scott.
The latter, just 19 years of age, enjoyed a breakthrough season last time out, and impressed despite playing most of his football in the somewhat unfamiliar position of right wing back.
This term, though, he’s become an established part of their midfield, and North End will almost certainly be looking to limit Scott’s impact on the game, given the quality of his performances, which have reportedly attracted the attention of some top clubs.
Match Official
Leigh Doughty will referee the third Preston North End game of his career on Wednesday night.
Both previous occasions he has been the main official have ended in defeat for North End, against Cardiff City and Fulham last season.
Doughty has shown 37 yellow cards and two reds in nine games so far this campaign, and he will be assisted by Craig Taylor and Greg Read, while Keith Stroud is the fourth official.
MACS VIEW
Losing Storey suspension and Parrott injury is a blow against a Brizzle side who are not in the best of form, however hopefully get a positive result, good news for the citizens of Bristol won't be there so cannot make it seven wins on the trot at the Gate of Ashton
