Preston North End have lost injured striker Louis Moult for Wednesday's Championship home game with Stoke City.

Andre Green or Jayden Stockley will come in as Moult now faces a lengthy spell out after being stretchered off in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Swansea.

Stoke have midfielder Nick Powell back for the first time since the first day of the season following a calf problem.

Midfielder Peter Etebo may step up after appearing as a late substitute in Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Derby.

Stoke recovered from conceding a second-minute goal to pick up their first point of the season.

Preston won their opening home league game, against Wigan Athletic 3-0, but have so far twice been beaten on the road.
