The Seasiders travel to the Pirelli Stadium on Saturday afternoon looking to close the the gap between themselves and the likes of the Brewers in the League One table, with the club still sat in the bottom four despite enjoying back-to-back wins at the start of Ian Evatt’s tenure.
A constant for Blackpool for the majority of this season has been a lengthy list of injuries, and further problems will force the head coach into alterations from last Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Cardiff City at Bloomfield Road.
Both Hayden Coulson and Josh Bowler were forced off with injury against the Bluebirds, while Bailey Peacock-Farrell is also unavailable for the trip to Staffordshire due to international selection.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench to take on Burton:
