The Seasiders will be looking to back up their 1-0 victory over Cambridge United at the weekend, as Sonny Carey’s first half goal brought to an end a three game winless run.

With Oxford United and Lincoln City not in action this evening, Neil Critchley’s side could close the gap on the final play-off spot to three points ahead of their final three games.
