PRESTON face two trips to Leicester in the next three days after league and cup fixtures threw up a double whammy at The Walkers Stadium.
Tomorrow's game is a league fixture, with new boss Billy Davies hoping to achieve PNE's first league away win since January.
Then, on Monday, the Lilywhites return to the Midlands for their delayed second round tie in the Carling Cup.
Leicester have won once at home this season, prompting hope that North End's travel sickness may end this weekend.
Davies welcomes back Marlon Broomes from injury, while Chorley-born midfield Paul McKenna came through Tuesday's draw against Plymouth unscathed.
Skipper Chris Lucketti and strikers Andy Smith and David Healy have all been ruled out - meaning on-loan Congolese forward Guylian Ndumbu-Nsungu should start his second match in a row.
