Ciardini missing for Hawks

Havant and Waterlooville boss Lee Bradbury has a near full-strength squad to choose from for the trip.

The Conference South side have some fond memories of the FA Cup, none more so than taking the lead twice against Liverpool at Anfield in 2008.

Winger Nic Ciardini misses out due to suspension while top scorer JJ Hooper will lead the attack after notching 11 goals in 14 matches.

The Hawks are back in the first round proper of the FA Cup after failing to qualify for the past three years.

Preston have been hampered by the fact this fixture has been moved back to Monday night.

Both striker Callum Robinson and full-back Scott Wiseman are now unavailable to North End boss Simon Grayson because of international commitments.

Grayson does not expect to be able to call on Bailey Wright (groin), Jordan Hugill (knee), Calum Woods or Andy Little (both calf).

The Lilywhites may give run-outs to the likes of Thorsten Stuckmann, Ben Davies, Josh Brownhill and Kevin Davies, while Leicester loanee Paul Gallagher has permission to play.
