The Seasiders will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium ahead of the international break.

Neil Critchley has made one change to the team that started that day, with the injured Jordan Rhodes dropping out after it was revealed it’d be “touch and go” whether the striker would appear again this season due to knee ligament damage.
