A TRIO of Preston stars look set to sit out the Deepdale derby date with local rivals Blackpool tomorrow (kick off 1pm).
Recent recruit Neil Clement serves a one-match ban for his double booking at Colchester on Good Friday, while wingers Lee Cartwright (knee) and Mark Rankine (leg) are both rated as very doubtful.
Cartwright only returned to action on Tuesday night at Wigan after eight games on the treatment table and appears to have suffered a reaction. Rankine is also thought to have picked up his injury midweek.
The absence of Clement and Cartwright could open the first team door for returning left-sider Dominic Ludden.
Kurt Nogan looks to have shaken off a midweek injury scare enough to link up with prolific loan man Steve Basham up front.
Squad: Lucas, Alexander, Murdock, Jackson, Clement, Gregan, Rankine, McGregor, Appleton, McKenna, Eyres, Nogan, Basham, Cartwright, Ludden, Moilanen.
