The Seasiders have drawn their last seven outings at Bloomfield Road, with the most recent being Tuesday night’s 0-0 stalemate against Rotherham United.
Steve Bruce could be without a number of key players for the upcoming meeting with the Stags. Tom Bloxham and Matthew Pennington both have a few more weeks on the sidelines ahead of them, while Olly Casey and Niall Ennis are doubtful.
Here’s our predicted Blackpool XI and bench to take on Mansfield:

Olly Casey was forced off with an ankle problem against Rotherham, but the issue isn't as serious as first feared, so the centre back could still have a chance of featuring this weekend. Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker
