PNE host Leicester City on Monday night in front of the Sky Sports cameras

Preston North End will look to stop Leicester City from winning the Championship title at Deepdale, on Monday.

The Lilywhites host Enzo Maresca’s side - who had their immediate promotion back to the Premier League confirmed on Friday night. Leeds United’s 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers sent the Foxes up - with Leicester’s aim to now clinch the league. PNE, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from three straight defeats and finish the season on a high.

Here is the team news from both camps, ahead of Monday’s 8pm kick-off!

4. Ryan Lowe on McCann, Potts and Whiteman

“Whitey won’t be anywhere near," said the PNE boss, on Thursday morning. "Pottsy is on the grass, but there is no need to push them through - just in case they get re-injured. Ali McCann is the same, so the likelihood of them missing the next two games is very high. Pottsy might be back for a couple of days training, towards the back end, but it’s a risk element then isn’t it? Other than that, the squad will be the squad we’ve been going with for a little while."
