Blackpool have named their team to take on Stevenage at the Lamex Stadium.

After having a weekend off due to the postponement of their game with Birmingham City, the Seasiders will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat away to Rotherham United earlier this month.

Steve Bruce’s side now sit nine points off sixth-placed Reading, while Leyton Orient, Bolton Wanderers and Huddersfield Town are also above them, but have all played a game more.
