Supporting Details
Up to 10 a.m. on Friday, tickets for this match can still be purchased online, in person at the ticket office, or over the phone at 0344 856 1966.
The main ticket office, situated in the stadium’s South Stand, is where you can pick up any pre-paid or duplicate tickets that haven’t already been picked up from Deepdale on game night.
Who’s free right now?
Liam Millar is anticipated to be fit for this match after suffering an ankle knock during Watford’s loss.
After being out of action since the first weekend of 2023, Emil Riis is now targeting the New Year and is unlikely to make an appearance before the end of the year.
Numerous outfield players are vying for spots as Ryan Lowe revealed that 23 of them were scheduled to train on Thursday morning.
Focus of Opposition
Prior to this weekend’s games, Swansea City is ranked eighteenth in the Championship and hasn’t had a regular manager since Michael Duff left earlier this month.
Since then, interim manager Alan Sheehan, Duff’s assistant, has presided over games in triumph against Rotherham United, a draw at Stoke City, and a loss to Middlesbrough.
North End has only won at Swansea once since 1961, so it hasn’t been a very joyful hunting ground in previous years.
A Late-Rise Conflict
In August 2023, Andrew Hughes and Duane Holmes helped North End come back from down to defeat Swansea City 2-1.

Officials of the Match
Robert Madley is the referee. Craig Taylor and Blake Antrobus are the assistant referees. John Busby is the fourth official.
On Friday, Robert Madley will officiate his second PNE game of the year. Ironically, he officiated his first PNE game in November, against Cardiff City, a rival team of Swansea City.
In 13 games this season, Madley has shown 67 yellow cards and four red cards, including the ejection of Robbie Brady.
