Blackpool team news V Cardiff City: Ian Evatt makes five changes as key men return to XI
Blackpool take on Cardiff City at Bloomfield Road this afternoon.
Ian Evatt has made five changes to his Blackpool team for the visit of Cardiff City.
The new Seasiders boss has won his first two games in charge of the club, overcoming Peterborough United in League One a fortnight ago and Scunthorpe United in the first round of the FA Cup last weekend.
In the tie against the Iron, both Hayden Coulson and George Honeyman made their returns from injury off the bench, and have now been deemed ready to return to the starting XI.
They are joined by Michael Ihiekwe, Jordan Brown and CJ Hamilton, while Andy Lyons, Scott Banks, Zac Ashworth and Emil Hansson all drop down to the bench.
Lee Evans isn’t involved in any capacity as he serves a one-match ban after picking up his fifth booking of the season in the 2-1 victory at the Weston Homes Stadium at the end of last month.
Here’s the full starting XI: Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Michael Ihiekwe, Fraser Horsfall, Olly Casey, CJ Hamilton, Jordan Brown, George Honeyman, Josh Bowler, Hayden Coulson, Tom Bloxham, Ashley Fletcher.
Substitutes: Franco Ravizzoli, Andy Lyons, Scott Banks, Zac Ashworth, Emil Hansson, Theo Upton, Terry Bondo.
