The two teams were meant to meet on December 2, but the game was postponed at late notice due to an FA investigation- which led to David Horseman’s side having to replay Scarborough Athletic.
Tonight’s game provides the Seasiders with an opportunity to quickly bounce back from their disappointing 2-1 defeat to Cambridge United on Saturday afternoon.
Here’s our predicted Seasiders starting XI and bench:
7. CM: Kenny Dougall
Kenny Dougall has been a rock for the Seasiders in the centre of midfield in the last few weeks. He was rested at the weekend for the trip to Cambridge so should come straight back in. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
8. CM: Albie Morgan
