Pards Names Strong Squad

WITH no fresh injury worries ahead of Saturday's trip to Preston, Alan Pardew has named a strong squad for the trip to Deepdale.

New signing Gavin Williams is included in the senior squad for the first time after missing the Leeds game through suspension.

Defender Darren Powell is also included for his last scheduled game before his month's loan from Crystal Palace runs out.

Malky Mackay travels having come through 80 minutes of a Reserve game in midweek, as does Luke Chadwick who is suffering with a slight groin injury and remains a doubt for the game.

The team to play Preston will be chosen from the following squad:
 
Bywater (GK), Burch (GK), Repka, Fletcher, C Powell, Chadwick, Lomas, D Powell, Mackay, Rebrov, Etherington, Harewood, Zamora, Ferdinand, Sheringham, Mullins, Reo-Coker, Williams.
 
Preston North End v West Ham United at Deepdale, Saturday 18th December, kick-off 3.00pm
