That's their first goal of the season. Mahoney to take from the right. Let-off for Town, who are miles off the pace once again. 5 - GOAL Preston - 0-1 Rhodes the lone striker with Holmes and Koroma either side, Camara and Russell in centre mid.

Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe has made six changes for his side's Carabao Cup clash with Huddersfield Town.
There are also places on the bench for four youngsters in the PNE squad, Jacob Slater, Lewis Leigh, Dana Amaral and Mikey O’Neill all named as Lowe promised during the week. Lowe experimented in pre-season with a 3-4-2-1 system, with two 10's in behind the main striker, which could be McCann and Woodburn this evening. It is a real shake up to the side, that is normally so consistent, and there could be a change of shape.
Troy Parrott scored his first goal for the club inside just six minutes, before a double from Ali McCann – both assisted by Álvaro Fernández – put the visitors ...
Potts then came close to scoring what would have been an early shout for goal of the season, as he connected perfectly with Greg Cunningham’s cross from the left, and his volley hit the underside of the bar before then bouncing off the post. Ryan Lowe’s side – with six changes from the weekend – were relentless in the opening 45 minutes and were rewarded for their early work, as on six minutes, Parrott opened his account for the club, getting on the end of Lee Nicholls’ parry from Ryan Ledson’s effort, before finding the bottom corner. Brad Potts then got in on the act shortly into the second period, and while Jordan Rhodes was able to pull one back for the hosts, it was PNE who comfortably made their way through to the next round of the competition.

Tino Anjorin released Jordan Rhodes in behind and he showed composure to slot the ball past the onrushing Freddie Woodman. His shot took a deflection on the way in but that did not stop the flying wing back's celebrations in front of the travelling support. He had McCann in support but chose to go alone, instead eating up the ground on the Northern Irishman and crowding himself out. After just six minutes though, they had the lead. After 19 minutes PNE had their second, Alvaro Fernandez got down the outside down the left and fizzed a low cross into the centre for the onrushing McCann who side-footed the ball into the back of the net. Patient build up was followed up by an increase in intensity as the ball got into the home side's half, Ryan Ledson's shot from the edge of the box was saved down low but Parrott was on the spot to turn the ball into the net.
Preston boss Ryan Lowe has calmed fears about Alvaro Fernandez, claiming he was only substituted against Huddersfield Town as a precaution.
Lowe added that Fernandez rolled his ankle and his substitution was just a precaution, with Preston expecting Fernandez to be okay from Thursday or Friday. The Spaniard took a knock just before half time and didn’t emerge for the second half, with Daniel Johnson brought on in his place. Brad Potts added a fourth in the second half before Jordan Rhodes grabbed a consolation for Huddersfield.
How we rated the PNE players this evening in the Carabao Cup first round fixture.
In the right place at the right time for his goal and almost had a second shortly after. His pressing was relentless and he was involved in a lot of the PNE's positive attacking play. Got on the ball, played his passes for run and got stuck in when required. Bombed up and down the left flank. Sent a fierce strike on to the woodwork in the second half - so unlucky not to score. Set the tempo for PNE and took his chance. Won his headers and made his clearances, but was caught a bit deep for the pass through to Rhodes. His two assists were sublime and his quality was on display for all to see. Brad Potts bulldozed his way past a cluster of blue and white shirts before unleashing a stinging low shot which deflected into the bottom left corner - with no chance for Nicholls. After starting both league games a little tentatively, the shackles looked well and truly off for North End in the opening stages. Ryan Ledson's powerful drive at goal was palmed back out and Parrott was quickest to react, with a left-footed guided finish into the far corner. With the home crowd restless, Ryan Lowe's men smelt blood and sensed the opportunity to run away with the tie.
