The Seasiders will be desperate to get their season on track, with the pressure mounting up at Bloomfield Road on the back of last weekend’s 1-0 defeat away to Northampton Town at Sixfields.
Steve Bruce’s side have now lost five of their opening seven League One outings throughout the opening exchanges of the campaign, and will need things to turn a corner sooner rather than later.
A 5-0 victory over Barrow in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night should instil some confidence, alongside providing a way into the starting XI for some of the players that impressed.
This weekend’s opponents will provide a difficult challenge, having started the campaign with five wins from their opening seven games.
Here’s our predicted Blackpool XI and bench to take on Barnsley:
