The Seasiders head into the fixture on the back of a weekend off from competitive action following the postponement of their scheduled meeting with Luton Town due to international call-ups.
Steve Bruce’s side certainly needed a break, after starting the new campaign with four defeats in their first six league outings, picking up just four points so far.
Since playing out a 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers at the end of last month, both Scott Banks and Josh Bowler have arrived at Bloomfield Road – and could feature against the Cobblers.
Elsewhere, Fraser Horsfall has continued his recovery from an ankle injury, with the defender set to be in and around the matchday squad again, while Niall Ennis is back in contention after serving his three-match ban.
In fact, the only player currently ruled out for the Seasiders at the moment is James Husband – who is only expected back in December.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench to take on Northampton:
