Paul Parry is sidelined with a hamstring tear and the home side will also have to do without Scottish pair Callum Davidson and Barry Nicholson.

Left winger Wallace is a set piece specialist and has pace in abundance, he will give Shaun Cummings a tough evening.

Ivar Ingimarsson’s condition will be assessed before the team is named after he made his long awaited comeback against Watford. Matt Mills stands by, as Alex Pearce misses the trip as he is being rested.

This is one of the hardest away games in the Championship, and we rarely get a decent result at Deepdale. I’m afraid that is likely to continue, Preston 2-0 Royals.
