Reading : Andy Rinomhota is back and in contention for selection having missed the past seven matches with an ankle problem.
Sam Baldock is also back in training after a thigh injury and may make the bench.
Ryan East will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, while Saeid Ezatolahi, Omar Richards and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson also remained sidelined.
Andy Yiadom is okay to play despite picking up a knock at Stoke before the international break.
Preston North End: Paul Gallagher and Alan Browne missed the victory over Birmingham last time out but could return to the side.
Andrew Hughes and Brad Potts limped out of that game in the second half so are doubtful.
Meanwhile, Tom Barkhuizen and Tom Clarke have been absentees of late and may not be risked.
Jose Gomes : "We must put our focus on them and not think about anything else. In my opinion it's a really key game because we don't know what is happening elsewhere.
"We know if we win it will be very important for the target we are following. They haven't lost the past 12 games.
"The last six games they've played away they have won so they are confident. The players are stronger and more confident now. We must expect a very strong team.
"But we must look to our team and it's another opportunity to get the three points. It doesn't matter the opponent, we just need to be there and show we want the three points."
Alex Neil: "Reading is a crucial game for us, after that we have got a week of destiny, a week of death.
"That will be hard but I’m sure in this 12-game unbeaten run we are on, there have been weeks when we’ve looked at it and thought, ‘This is tough’.
"If we can go to Reading and get a win, it would set us up for the week after. What we don’t really want is to go into the next games on the back of a bad result, having to chase our tails.
"We want to go into those games knowing we have a few points in the bag and so we can approach them in the way we think is best."
Preston : 13/10
Draw : 11/5
Meite to be first goalscorer : 11/2
