Preston look to regain lost sparkle

A 0-0 draw meant North End remained unbeaten ahead of Tuesday's clash with Nottingham Forest but the manager felt extra training sessions during the international break may have taken their toll.

"I am going to find out if they were tired and I do hope that isn't the case," he told the Lancashire Evening Post.

"But if they were then that is something we clearly have to look at and we will have to be careful with."
