THE BIG positive for Swindon Town on the announcement of teamsheets at Wembley was the inclusion of captain Nathan Thompson.
The skipper was a doubt with a grade two hamstring tear picked up in the semi-final second leg against Sheffield United, but made a remarkable recovery to start.
There are two changes from the play-off with the Blades; Harry Toffolo in for Sam Ricketts and Jonathan Obika in for Jermaine Hylton.
Louis Thompson is named on the bench to feature in a Town squad for the last time, having missed nearly three months with a shoulder injury he suffered at Crewe.
For Preston, there was just one change from their semi-final second leg win over Chestefield Kyel Reid replaces Callum Robinson.
Town starting XI: Foderingham; Stephens, Thompson N (C), Turnbull; Byrne, Kasim, Luongo, Gladwin, Toffolo; Smith, Obika.
Subs: Belford T, Ricketts, Branco, Thompson L, Rodgers, Williams, Hylton.
Preston starting XI: Johnstone; Clarke, Wright, Huntington, Woods; Welsh, Kilkenny, Johnson; Beckford, Gallagher, Garner.
Subs: Johnstone, Clarke, Wright, Huntington, Woods, Welsh, Kilkenny, Johnson, Beckford, Gallagher, Garner.
