Mixed news for North End

Preston boss Darren Ferguson is set to be boosted by the return of on-loan Manchester United duo Matty James and Josh King for the trip to Derby, but Darel Russell is suspended. Midfielder James has recovered from a damaged tendon in his ankle, while King resumed training last week after a month-long absence with an ankle ligament injury. Both players look certain to be passed fit to face the Rams. However, Russell must serve a one-match ban following his red card against Reading last time out. Winger Keith Treacy has been hampered by a groin problem in recent weeks which forced him to pull out of the Republic of Ireland squad, but he should also be available.
