Steve Bruce has stated he will name a strong side to take on the Yorkshire outfit, as the Seasiders look to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat to Leyton Orient at the weekend – as their winless run in League One was extended to six games.
The Seasiders currently sit second in Group E on four points, following a victory over Crewe Alexandra in September and last week’s 0-0 draw with Liverpool U21s.
A win would see Blackpool go through top, while a draw would see them progress behind the Railwaymen. Meanwhile, Harrogate need three points to reach the next round.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench:
