The Seasiders head to the Toughsheet Community Stadium for the Saturday lunchtime game, on the back of a seven-match winless run in League One and their squad currently depleted.
In their recent 0-0 draw with Northampton Town, Steve Bruce’s side were hit with a potential three new injury concerns, but did at least have the positive of Ollie Norburn returning from his recent spell on the sidelines.
Some of the new absentees could force the Blackpool boss to move away from his preferred 4-4-2 formation, with the personnel short in a couple of key areas.
Here’s a full summary of those injured or doubtful for Saturday’s game:
