There are eight changes from Wednesday’s Carabao Cup First Round defeat at Huddersfield Town on penalties, but just one from last Sunday’s league-opening victory over Sheffield Wednesday, as Harry Winks comes in for Oliver Skipp.

James Justin skippers the side, with captain Ricardo Pereira working his way back to full fitness, while Academy graduates Luke Thomas and Jakub Stolarczyk also start.

Don’t forget, you can watch or listen to the clash at Deepdale on Foxes Hub, depending on your location – more information. We’ll also bring you full updates across the Match Centres on the LCFC App, LCFC.com, and on our @LCFC social media channels.
