Swindon vs Preston North End preview - Same again for Robins
Posted Tuesday, November 04, 2014 by PA
Swindon could name an unchanged line-up as they look to get back to winning ways against Preston.
The Robins were beaten for just the second time since mid-August on Saturday at MK Dons and manager Mark Cooper has no fresh injury or suspension worries.
Raphael Branco is on the road to recovery after a groin injury and looks unlikely to return to action against North End while Jon Obika is likely to partner Michael Smith in attack once more.
Striker George Barker has returned early from Tranmere after his loan spell but is not available.
The end of Preston's eight-match winning streak could see Simon Grayson shuffle his pack.
A 3-0 defeat at Rochdale on Saturday has left Grayson with decisions to contemplate for the first time in a few weeks, with Kyel Reid, Jack King and Alan Browne among those at the top of the queue for recalls.
Full-back Calum Woods (hamstring) is edging closer to a return while winger Andy Little, who recently suffered a setback with a calf problem, is also on the mend.
North End are still without Australian international Bailey Wright (groin), along with summer signing Jordan Hugill (knee).
