John Gregory "looking forward" to facing Preston North End

Crawley Town manager John Gregory has revealed that he is "looking forward" to taking on Preston North End in his first home game as the club's boss.

Gregory said that there is good news on the injury front with Mike Jones fit, and that he wants Broadwood Stadium to become a fortress from now on.

"We have had a good week in training and we are working on a few things by doing a session at the ground today," he told the club's official website.

"Mike Jones is fit and there may be a change or two on Saturday - we will have to wait and see.

"It's a game we are looking forward to. Preston are going well and I managed Simon Grayson when he was a player and I always thought he had the makings of a good manager and that is proving to be the case - he has done a good job at Preston."

Crawley are currently 15th in League One.
