Preston are boosted by the return of on-loan Wolves defender Neill Collins for the trip to Leicester.

Collins played for Wolves against Swindon in the previous round of the Carling Cup and was therefore ineligible to feature in Wednesday's 5-1 third-round defeat to Tottenham.

Defender Michael Hart should be passed fit after being substituted in the second half against Spurs with a knock.

Midfielder Chris Sedgwick is also expected to be available after missing the Tottenham game because his wife went into labour.

However, left-back Callum Davidson is ruled out for several weeks with a torn hamstring and midfielder Barry Nicholson remains a long-term absentee with a broken leg.

Winger Paul Parry also tore a hamstring in the recent 2-0 home win over Swansea and is set to remain sidelined.
