Blackpool team news V Ipswich Town: Surprise boost alongside two changes for FA Cup tie
Blackpool take on Ipswich Town in the third round of the FA Cup.
Blackpool have made two changes to their starting XI for this afternoon’s FA Cup third round meeting with Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Lee Evans and CJ Hamilton both come into Ian Evatt’s team, while Josh Bowler and Scott Banks drop to the bench following last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Bradford City.
Niall Ennis is also among the Seasiders substitutes, in what is an early boost for the club, with the striker returning to the matchday squad a week earlier than originally anticipated after an extended spell on the sidelines due to an achilles injury.
Ryan Finnigan is named on the bench as well, on the back of being recalled from his loan spell with Walsall on Monday.
Here’s the full starting XI: Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Andy Lyons, Olly Casey, Zac Ashworth, Danny Imray, Lee Evans, Albie Morgan, George Honeyman, CJ Hamilton, Tom Bloxham, Ashley Fletcher.
Substitutes: Franco Ravizzoli, Jordan Brown, Niall Ennis, Josh Bowler, Scott Banks, Ryan Finnigan, Theo Upton, Spencer Knight, Oluchukwu Nwankwo.
