Worries for Ferguson

Preston boss Darren Ferguson has injury and suspension worries ahead of the home clash with Nottingham Forest. Defender Billy Jones was sent off for two bookable offences in Saturday`s dramatic 4-3 defeat at Burnley and serves a one-match suspension. On-loan Manchester United youngsters Josh King and Matt James also picked up knocks and may be forced to miss out. In a further blow, Paul Coutts also limped off with a groin strain at Turf Moor and is doubtful. Ferguson said of Saturday`s damaging defeat: "The injuries killed us. It was a cruel result but that is the way things go sometimes. "How we have got four defeats this season, I don't know. But it's a results-based business so we need to start picking up."
