Doncaster's on-loan defender Elliott Ward could return, but Shelton Martis (hamstring) and midfielder Martin Woods (groin) are still out. Jason Shackell (groin) and ex-Preston man Brian Stock (back) are also sidelined.
MATCH PREVIEW
Doncaster, who have only ever won once in the league at Deepdale, head to Preston full of confidence after thrashing Bristol City 5-2 on Saturday.
They would do very well to enjoy another scoring spree against a Preston side that has been hard to break down on their own patch. Only 15 of the 49 goals North End have conceded this season have been shipped at home.
Doncaster are one place above Preston, who are 13th and had to settle for a draw against struggling Plymouth at the weekend.
Boss Darren Ferguson bemoaned their poor finishing after that game, and his side are only six points above the relegation zone after winning only one of their last five matches.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Preston are undefeated in their last six league games against Doncaster (W3, D3).
• Doncaster's last win against North End was a 2-1 home victory in the fourth tier in September 1994.
Preston
• Preston have won four, drawn two and lost five of their 11 league games under Darren Ferguson.
• Saturday's 1-1 result at Plymouth was Preston's 10th draw of the season, and took them to within one stalemate of their total for the whole of last term.
• North End have conceded 238 corners this season - more than any other team in the Championship.
• Chris Brown could make his 200th career league appearance and Sean St Ledger his 150th Preston start.
Doncaster
• Doncaster have 44 points and have scored 44 goals this season.
• They have won only three of their last 11 matches.
• Victory would provide Sean O'Driscoll with the 200th win of his managerial career, and a goal would be Doncaster's 100th away league goal since he took over as Rovers boss.
