Preston North End line up confirmed for Rotherham United clash

Daniel Johnson comes into the starting XI, with Ali McCann dropping to the bench for the visit of Rotherham United.

There is also a return to the squad for Ched Evans, who has served a three match suspension for his red card on the opening day against Wigan Athletic.

Jacob Slater drops off the bench from the weekend.

Lowe will persist with the 3-4-2-1 formation that he has used in the last two games, winning both.

It will be Alan Browne and Johnson in behind Troy Parrott, with Ryan Ledson and Ben Whiteman in the middle of the midfield.

After combining for a sensational goal at the weekend, Robbie Brady will be on the left looking to provide for Brad Potts on the oppposite side.

Jordan Storey, Liam Lindsay, Andrew Hughes and Freddie Woodman are uninterrupted in the defence, who are yet to concede a league goal – the only side in the Championship with that honour.

PNE will be looking for their first home win of the season, having drawn with Hull City previously, but are also looking for their third win in three games.

Rotherham will be looking to back up a 4-0 win over Reading at the weekend.

PNE Starting XI: Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Potts, Whiteman, Ledson, Brady, Browne, Johnson, Parrott.

PNE Subs: Cornell, Bauer, Cunningham, McCann, Woodburn, Riis, Evans.
