City played their opening game in the PL Cup this week, taking on Preston at Victory Park, where a goal from Mads Frokjaer-Jensen and an own goal from Maxwell Adedeji saw the result go in favour of the hosts.

Lining up with a young squad, the defeat against the Lilywhites leaves us at the foot of Group C, with Ipswich Town and Charlton Athletic the others making up the mini league.

Kian Pennant started up front against North End.

The deadlock was broken 16 minutes in by Frokjaer-Jensen, before Adedeji's own goal eight minutes before the break settled the scoreline in Lancashire.

Our Under-21s have the chance to bounce back in the competition as up next is a second group stage game, this time against Charlton, on Friday 17 November (7pm BST kick-off) in Seagrave.

The details...

City: French; Daniels, Adedeji, Diallo; Omobolaji, Lawrence, Neale (Akolbire 46'), Toko (Ali 85'); Pennant, Otchere (Carr 62'), Fisken (Hutchinson 72').

Unused sub: Stretton.
