Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has no fresh injury problems following the 1-1 derby draw with Norwich.

On-loan midfielder Conor Grant will remain sidelined, despite returning to light work in training this week following a groin injury.

Grant did not join up with the main squad during the week and will not be risked with the chance for further recovery time during the international break.

David McGoldrick (ankle), Luke Hyam (knee) and Giles Coke remain on the sidelines.

Simon Grayson is hoping a midweek off for four of Preston's players will see them return to fitness for the trip.

Goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard (shoulder) was among those who missed the EFL Cup win over Oldham in midweek, with Jermaine Beckford, Paul Gallagher and Bailey Wright also nursing knocks that kept them out of the team.

Midfielder Ben Pringle remains a doubt, though, having come off against Latics due to an ankle problem he suffered in the first half.

Should Pringle miss out, he will join Stevie May and Calum Woods (both knee) on the sidelines.
