It remains to be seen how many changes interim manager Mike Marsh might make to the side which faced Sheffield United on Friday night, but Carabao Cup action does tend to see squads utilised.
There may be an opportunity for Kaine Kesler-Hayden to make his full PNE debut, while there will be a number of other players pushing for a chance to impress.
Ali McCann won’t be available due to injury, whereas Layton Stewart is unlikely to be ready for a return.
The Black Cats
Sunderland will arrive at Deepdale feeling good, having opened their season with a victory over Cardiff City at the weekend.
There’s a new man in the dugout for the Black Cats this campaign. Former Lorient manager Regis Le Bris took over in the summer, after they finished the previous season under interim management.
There will, of course, be a return to Deepdale for club legend and 400 Club member Alan Browne, who made his Sunderland debut at the weekend.
The Officials
Referee: Ollie Yates
Assistant Referees: Danny Jarvis and Mark Cunliffe
Fourth Official: Dale Baines
Ollie Yates will referee the first PNE game of his career on Tuesday night.
Yates has been refereeing in League One and League Two since 2016/17, and he began the new campaign in charge of Wrexham’s 3-2 victory over Wycombe Wanderers.
MACS UP DATED VIEW
Well what a to do, the king is dead long live the temporary king, very smilar scenario to when we potted Westley the utter relief when the trapdoor was finally opendoor, did he walk or was he pushed? Doesn't matter he's gone, anyway he is now histrory.
No idea how we will play tonight neither will Sunderland, suspect the Black Cats will make several changes but will we? Hopefully both sides will go on all out attack for a crowd which now will be better that if he had been in charge.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
