Nugent Set To Sign New Deal

Last updated : 15 December 2005 By @pnemad
David Nugent has said that he is willing to see out the two and a half years that are remaining on the rest of his contract. He has also hinted that sometime after Christmas he will be looking to sign an extension to this deal which he will be looking to see out with the club that have propelled him onto the bigger stage.

Nugent will be looking to strike in front of the Sky cameras tomorrow night just like he did on his full debut earlier in the year against Ipswich.

Billy Davies will have a selection headache as the suspended Lucketti comes back but will he come straight back in after the man of the match performance from Youl Mawene last week at Derby.

Paul Mckenna is an injury worry but could be replaced by Brian O'Neill who has spent the last few games on the bench. Billy Davies has also opted for one front man in the last two away games but may favour being more adventurous at home.

Preston go into the game unbeaten in 12 but have only won two at home all season with their last appearance in front of the Sky cameras being a 1-0 defeat at home to Stoke.
