Who’s Available?
Ryan Lowe will provide an update on team news in his pre-match press conference.
Opposition Focus
There won’t be many clubs in world football who have had a busier summer than Stoke City, having seen the arrival of 15 new players as of Thursday morning, and more deals are expected before Friday’s transfer deadline.
One of those incomings was attacking midfielder Daniel Johnson, who left PNE in the summer after making 336 appearances for the club, while fellow former North End midfielder Ben Pearson is also on the Potters’ books.
Some of the new faces will inevitably take longer to settle than others but André Vidigal looks like the one to watch, having netted four in his first five matches for Stoke, who have won two and lost two in the Championship so far.
Match Official
Referee: Matthew Donohue
Assistant Referees: Andrew Fox and Jonathan Hunt
Fourth Official: Peter Wright
Matthew Donohue will take charge of his eighth PNE match this weekend and his third clash between these two sides. His previous time refereeing a North End game was the 4-0 defeat to Middlesbrough on Gentry Day in March 2023.
MACS VIEW
Should be an interesting contest against a Stoke side who seem to have bought every availlable player up for sale this window, mostly ones we were after. Have won there on my past five visits won't be there this Saturday so kind of know the result
Mood of away support will depend on who we bring in tomorrow however if we end up with that famous Asian player Foo kin Nah Wan mightbe a bit rebelious in the 2600 who are going
