Preston v Colchester match preview

Patrick Agyemang and Brett Ormerod are expected to be involved this weekend despite struggling with hip and knee injuries respectively.

Midfielder Kevin Nicholls will retain his place in the side after proving his fitness following the knee problem he sustained in the defeat by West Brom last time out.

Colchester goalkeeper Dean Gerken is suspended after his red card against Barnsley last weekend so veteran Aidan Davison is expected to be handed the gloves.

Striker Jamie Guy's thigh injury is not as bad as first feared, but although the youngster will travel to Deepdale he is not expected to be named in the squad.
