The Seasiders had been scheduled to make the trip to the Stadium of Light on Saturday, October 10.

But the game was cancelled and rearranged for Tuesday, December 22 after Sunderland had three players called up for international duty.

Rather than have a free weekend, the Seasiders got in touch with Ipswich Town, whose scheduled game against Charlton Athletic also fell foul to the international break, with the Addicks having three players called up.

The game, which will take place at Bloomfield Road, was originally scheduled for November 14.

Blackpool return to action on Tuesday night when they take on Accrington Stanley at the Crown Ground in their second EFL Trophy group stage game.
