There’s been some changes at Bloomfield Road since the Seasiders’ 1-0 defeat to Luton Town last Saturday.
On Deadline Day, Reuell Walters, Karoy Anderson and Leighton Clarkson all made the move to the Fylde Coast, while Lee Evans headed towards the exit doors.
It’s been a tough start to 2026 for Ian Evatt’s side, losing five of their last six games – with injuries taking their toll.
A number of players remain absent, but over the next few weeks that situation should ease.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench for this weekend’s game:
