Ayoze Perez /// Aleksandar Mitrovic

With the news that Dwight Gayle will miss the Preston North-End game on Saturday, Aleksandar Mitrovic will get a second bite of the cherry against the Lancashire team.

If Mitrovic had a nibble on Tuesday he is liable to eat not just the cherry but the whole bunch as he will be desperate to hit the back of the net again in the league.

Ayoze Perez is another one who needs to put in another good performance if he is to draw away from Mohamed Diame.

Diame scored twice in the week his play can still be infuriating at times. Despite the fact that Mitrovic and the former Hull City man linked up well together, expect Perez to start.
