Stoke striker Tyrese Campbell to retain his place against Preston

Tyrese Campbell will remain in attack for Stoke after a hamstring injury.

The five-goal striker returned to play 80 minutes in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Charlton after missing two games.

Ryan Shawcross remains out with a calf injury, while Stephen Ward (back) is also sidelined with no date set for his return.

Thibaud Verlinden is pushing to start for Michael O’Neill’s side after coming off the bench against Charlton.

Preston have no fresh injury worries for the trip to the bet365 Stadium.

Andrew Hughes and Paul Gallagher are both back after injury lay-offs after returning for the win at Wigan.

Long-term casualties Tom Bayliss, Billy Bodin and Louis Moult are Alex Neil’s only absentees.

Moult continues to recover from an knee operation in September.
