Wjen the game was originally rearranged for television purposes both sides gave consent that they would not pull the game if either side had the required three players called up for international duty to do so.
Preston have had four players called up but now have to proceed with the game as they did earlier in the season. North End will be without Browne, Robinson, Wiseman and Wright.
Browne and Wiseman have not featured regularly in recent times whilst Bailey Wright has onyl recently come back into the matchday squad after recovering from injury.
It is likely that Clarke will move over to centre back to cover Wright's absence with Callum Woods expected to fill in at right back. Robinson's position could be covered a number of ways with Humphrey, Little and Reid all capable of playing out wide.
