Blackpool team news V Reading: Three changes for final game of the season

Blackpool take on Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this afternoon.

Blackpool have made three changes for their final game of the season away to Reading.

There is a rare opportunity for Franco Ravizzoli in goal, with regular starter Bailey Peacock-Farrell dropped down to the bench.

Meanwhile, Hayden Coulson returns at left wing-back after serving his one game suspension and top scorer Ashley Fletcher starts up front as he looks to build on his tally of 21 goals in all competitions.

This sees both Zac Ashworth and Tom Bloxham join the substitutes from last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Leyton Orient.

Ian Evatt’s side head to Berkshire with their safety already mathematically confirmed, with a strong run of form since mid-March pulling them away from danger after a disappointing season.

Here’s the full line-up: Franco Ravizzoli, Reuell Walters, Olly Casey, James Husband, CJ Hamilton, Jordan Brown, Karoy Anderson, Leighton Clarkson, Hayden Coulson, Dale Taylor, Ashley Fletcher.

Substitutes: Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Zac Ashworth, Tom Bloxham, Andy Lyons, Ryan Finnigan, Joel Randall, Niall Ennis.
