The BBC have announced Dan Walker will present the live match from Solihull, with expert analysis from former Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin and ex-England women and Arsenal defender Alex Scott.

Simon Brotherton will be joined in the commentary box by former England and West Ham defender Matthew Upson.

With Blackpool fans continuing to boycott their games over Oyston's running of the club, many will be concerned at how much the 84-year-old could personally pocket from the televised game.
