and live on Freeview channel 276
PNE were left licking their wounds this week after a 4-2 defeat to Blackpool on Saturday and for the first time this month, there is no midweek fixture for the Lilywhites.
Their run has been a bit up and down since their return to action following the last international break at the end of last month, with three wins, three defeats and a draw so far.

He said: "It's probably a good thing, we'll get the lads rested and recovered with a bit of downtime with their families.
“We'll have a full week with them because I think it's needed. Not to see each other on a daily basis is sometimes good, they've been around each other for long periods of time.
"We'll just get back to it and go again, we have another game coming soon and we'll just make sure we put another game plan together and hopefully take it to fruition.”

He wants his side right back at it as soon as possible, though he already has an eye on the reverse fixture.
