Preston v Bristol City match preview

Preston goalkeeper Wayne Henderson may miss out again with the back injury that has kept him out for the last four games, and even if he is passed fit Andy Lonergan could be preferred between the posts.

Paul Gallagher (foot and ankle) is in contention to play, while Paul McKenna is almost ready to return after abdominal problems.

Enoch Showunmi has returned to fitness following a leg injury to boost Bristol City, but he is likely to start on the bench.

David Noble has also travelled with the squad after shaking off a groin problem, meaning that Steve Brooker (knee) is City's only absentee.
