The Seasiders will be looking to build on their midweek 2-0 victory over Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium – which was their first league win since the end of September.
Despite enduring a tough run of form in recent times, Steve Bruce’s side did enjoy success in the FA Cup earlier this month to set up this weekend’s tie with the Blues.
Sonny Carey claimed a brace in the first round to help Blackpool to a 2-0 victory away to Gillingham, while Birmingham progressed with a 1-0 win against Sutton United.
Here’s our predicted Seasiders XI and bench ahead of Sunday’s game:
