The Seasiders will be looking to make the most of their last outing before the start of the EFL season – with Ian Evatt’s side taking on Grimsby Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup on August 8, before a meeting with Wycombe Wanderers in League One seven days later.
Olly Casey was able to pick up his first minutes of the summer in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, George Honeyman was also able to make his return from injury in the 1-1 draw, but teenager Oluchi Nwankwo was forced off in the second half.
Fraser Horsfall, Michael Ihiekwe, Leighton Clarkson, Albie Morgan, Dion Charles and Tom Bloxham were all absent, with their statuses for this weekend currently unknown.
New signing Jordan Williams didn’t feature either, but should be set to get some minutes under his belt against the Valiants.
Here’s how Blackpool could line-up against Port Vale:
