James back for North End

Preston boss Darren Ferguson looks set to be boosted by the return of midfielder Matty James for the visit of Crystal Palace. The on-loan Manchester United youngster has been sidelined for the past six weeks with a damaged ankle. United have been overseeing the 19-year-old's recovery from a damaged ankle tendon and Ferguson said: "I should think Matt will be fit." Striker Josh King, also on loan from Old Trafford, was substituted at the interval during Tuesday's 3-2 home defeat to Scunthorpe after twisting his ankle late in the first half. It was the same ankle which he damaged at Burnley last month and he will be assessed but defender Wayne Brown has been absent with a hamstring injury and looks set to remain sidelined.
