Things are finally beginning to look a little bit more positive on the injury front, giving head coach Michael Appleton more players to choose from.
Doug Tharme, Jordan Gabriel and James Husband are all back from injury, while Gary Madine could also be available.
Here’s how we think the Seasiders might line up against Russell Martin’s side tomorrow...
