Who’s Available?
Ryan Lowe has confirmed that Liverpool loanee Calvin Ramsay will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after suffering an injury setback.
The manager also expects to be able to choose from the same squad which was available to him last time out against Sunderland.
Robbie Brady isn’t far off a return from a calf injury, while Ben Whiteman is back with a ball at his feet.
Pre-Match Chat
Watch manager Ryan Lowe’s pre-match interview ahead of a return to his former club.
Opposition Focus
Sheffield Wednesday secured their return to the Championship after two years away in remarkable fashion via the Play-Offs.
Darren Moore’s side came back from a 4-0 first-leg defeat to Peterborough United, winning 5-1 in the second and then progressing via a penalty shootout, before scoring in the dying moments of extra-time at Wembley.
Moore departed, however, and Xisco Muñoz has since taken over as boss, and he’ll be hoping to quickly improve on a start which has seen them lose their opening two league matches.
A Recent Clash
A superb Tom Barkhuizen volley earned North End a 1-0 victory at home against the Owls in November 2020.
Match Officials
Referee: Jeremy Simpson
Assistant Referees: Richard Wild and Jonathan Hunt
Fourth Official: Simon Mather
Jeremy Simpson will take charge of this weekend’s fixture, almost a month on from refereeing PNE’s draw against Fleetwood Town in pre-season which included a red card for both sides.
MACS VIEW
Another week of transfer failings still only have one fit forward still a paper thin squad. Take a point at Hillsborough were wins are rarer than rocking horse poop.
Jeremy's doiung the game, hope for the best he managed to turn the friendly at Fleetwood into a war zone. Won't be there should be playing cricket but currently injured, so leave the report up to IMRE
