For some players it will be disappointment, for others it will be jubilation as they get the chance to play in a famous old fixture between their club and their nearest and fiercest rivals.
But who will Ryan Lowe pick for the game at Bloomfield Road?
7. GK: Freddie Woodman
It's difficult to come up with another superlative to describe Freddie Woodman's start to life at PNE, after 10 clean sheets in 16 he'll be hoping for an 11th on Saturday. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
8. RWB: Brad Potts
Brad Potts was recently brought back into the side and is a reliably defensive option away from home, against his former club. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
9. AM: Robbie Brady
An experienced player with attacking quality and intent, Robbie Brady could well come back into the starting XI for what could prove to be a tight game against rivals. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
10. CM:
One of the first names on the teamsheet, barring an injury or suspension it is hard to imagine a Ryan Lowe side without Ben Whiteman in it. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
11. CM: Ryan Ledson
A man that is made for a derby day, Ryan Ledson alongside Ben Whiteman offers plenty of bite to hopefully secure the midfield for PNE. Photo: CameraSport - Alex Dodd
