Match Information (From Sky Sports)

Team news ahead of Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy northern section semi-final between Preston and Chesterfield at Deepdale.

Preston forward Iain Hume is in contention to end his injury lay-off in the home fixture.

Hume has been sidelined with a knee injury since North End's 3-1 defeat to Huddersfield in October.

Any involvement for the Canadian striker is likely to be from the bench, with boss Phil Brown rating his chances as 50/50.

Experienced midfield duo Graham Alexanderand Ian Ashbee could also return for the match.

Alexander was absent from last Tuesday's 1-0 win at Hartlepool due to a hamstring stain, but completed a full training session on Tuesday, while Ashbee is making good progress with his knee complaint.

Goalkeeper Iain Turner has returned to light training after suffering a broken foot, but Thorsten Stuckmann - Preston's hero in their penalty shoot-out victory over Rochdale in the previous round - will continue between the posts.

Chesterfield have been dealt an injury blow ahead of the clash with the news that midfielder Mark Randall could be out for up to six weeks after breaking a bone in his left hand.

Randall suffered the injury whilst playing for the reserves in a Central League Cup fixture against Port Vale last Tuesday. The 22-year-old will undergo an operation this week.

Manager John Sheridan will also be without defender Jonathan Grounds and midfielder Lee Johnson after they returned to Middlesbrough and Bristol City respectively following the end of their loan spells at the b2net Stadium. However, Derek Niven is available after the midfielder returned from his loan spell at Northampton.
Veteran striker Jack Lester is likely to be involved again after he made his comeback from almost three months out with a broken arm with a late substitute appearance during the home defeat to rivals Sheffield United nine days ago.

That was the last time the Spireites were in action, having gone out of the FA Cup at the first-round stage. Full-back Scott Griffiths made his second debut for the club against the Blades after returning on loan from Peterborough and he is likely to keep his place in the side at Deepdale.

Preston won the League One fixture between the two sides at the B2net Stadium 2-0 in August.

This is a match we need to win for the sake of confidence and generating a sense of momentum, as much as if not more than for its own sake. I presume we can play McCombe and Doyle, in which case I would expect us to start with a more or less full-strength line-up:

Stuckmann

Gray, McCombe, Morgan, Parry

Coutts, Nicholson, Doyle, Mayor

Mellor, Proctor

Personally - like most others here - I would like to see us reintroduce Smith at left-back and use Coutts in the centre, so this is what I think PB will do not what I would prefer. If Hume is fit then giving him 20 minutes towards the end - irrespective of the state of the game - would be a boost for everyone. It is about time we scored a few goals in a game again. Maybe tonight is when we will rediscover that habit.
