The Seasiders will be looking to bounce back from their Good Friday defeat to Derby County at Pride Park. In the 1-0 loss, Neil Critchley opted to name Jake Beesley as a lone striker, with Sonny Carey and Karamoko Dembele playing behind the 27-year-old.

For the visit of Matt Bloomfield’s side, Blackpool have returned to playing two up front, in the form of Kyle Joseph and Shayne Lavery, who are both named in the starting 11 as part of four changes.
