NORTH End take a break this weekend -- the match against Bradford has been postponed - just as they were starting to get back into the swing of things, taking 10 points from a possible 15 recently.

The next game is a week on Saturday, away at Crewe - but that doesn't mean things will go quiet on the Preston front.

Colin Murdock, who missed the Norwich game through suspension and didn't return for the Watford game is one of the players on international duty.

Along with David Healy, he is linking up with Northern Ireland ahead of this weekend's games, while Michael Keane has made it into the Irish U21s side.

The club issued their first 'hands off Moyes' warning of the season after he was touted as a replacement for Peter Taylor at Premiership side Leicester.

Chairman Brian Gray said: "I am not surprised in the least that David's name is being mentioned with regard to the Leicester job.

"I don't think we should be worrying about this one. I've listened to the Leicester chairman on the radio and he has said he wants someone with Premiership experience.

"To some degree it is inevitable when a vacancy comes up that David's name is mentioned. We shouldn't be surprised because he is a very good manager."
