Blackpool head to Exeter City on Saturday as they look to keep their impressive start to the new 2023/24 season going. The Seasiders kick-started the campaign with a 2-0 home win over Burton Albion last weekend.

They then won by the same scoreline at Pride Park last time out to see off fellow League One outfit Derby County in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Neil Critchley’s side take on a Grecians outfit who have also won their opening two matches in all competitions.
