Unsworth ponders options

02 January 2011 11:30
Preston are likely to makes changes as they prepare for a crunch bottom-of-the-table clash against Crystal Palace. Caretaker manager David Unsworth may prefer youngster Jamie Douglas to Paul Parry in attack alongside Chris Brown after Jon Parkin completed his switch to Cardiff. Changes could be the offing at the back as well after Wayne Brown went off injured and was replaced by rookie Conor McLaughlin, who could partner the recalled Sean St Ledger. On-loan Burnley defender Leon Cort is also in contention after the two clubs agreed to extend his terms at Deepdale. Preston are six points adrift of safety and are looking to avoid a third loss on the spin.
