The Seasiders were in action twice on Tuesday, as two different teams took on Accrington Stanley in a behind-closed-doors game at Bloomfield Road and Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park, with both fixtures ending in 3-1 defeats for Neil Critchley’s side.
Ahead of next week’s League One opener away to Crawley Town, Blackpool will be looking to finish their preparations on a high.
Here’s our predicted starting XI and bench to take on Crewe Alexandra:
