Wiseman misses out for Preston

Preston will be without Scott Wiseman when Bradford make the trip to Deepdale.

The Gibraltar full-back will play against world champions Germany on Friday night instead of facing the Bantams in Sky Bet League One the following day.

North End remain without striker Jordan Hugill (knee), full-back Calum Woods and winger Andy Little (both calf), while Bailey Wright underwent a minor operation on his groin at the end of last month.

Callum Robinson could continue in attack having scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup win over Havant on Monday night, but top scorer Joe Garner should return to the starting line-up as well.

Bradford boss Phil Parkinson has doubts about strikers James Hanson and Jon Stead, plus midfielder Gary Liddle, but has refused to rule out any of them.

Hanson has been struggling with a thigh strain in recent weeks and missed last week's FA Cup win at Halifax, while Stead, on loan from Huddersfield, sustained a slight groin strain in the first-round clash.

Midfielder Liddle has been sidelined for the last two games with a hamstring problem.

Parkinson has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side chases their first league win in six matches.
