Here is our predicted Blackpool team for Saturday afternoon:
7. CM: Kenny Dougall
Kenny Dougall has found form in the last few weeks, with a number of assured performances. He looks settled in the midfield, and is certainly a key component for the Seasiders. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
Ollie Norburn certainly has the ability to control things from the centre of the park. He helps Neil Critchley's side at both ends of the field, and has demonstrated his leadership abilities. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
Albie Morgan was a regular starter in the early weeks of the season, but has lost his place in the last month. The game against Oxford could see him return to the 11, after a couple of cameos off the bench in the league as well as an EFL Trophy game- in which he scored. Photo: CameraSport -
Owen Dale claimed a goal in what was a great performance against Stevenage. In recent weeks, he has produced some impressive displays and made the left wing-back position his own. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
Jordan Rhodes claimed his seventh goal of the season in the win against Stevenage. The on-loan striker continues to impress, and has provided a number of important goals for the Seasiders. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
Kylian Kouassi has enjoyed a number of good performances in recent weeks. He has really made himself a solid option up front for the Seasiders and has the skillset to cause problems for any opposition in League One. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
