There continues to be question marks over 14 first-team players at this moment in time, with injuries and illness continuing to ravage Michael Appleton’s squad.
With that in mind, it makes it extremely challenging to accurately predict Blackpool’s starting line-up given the uncertainty over so many players who are carrying a bug.
But here’s our best stab...
1. GK - Chris Maxwell

2. RB - Grant Ward
With Callum Connolly suspended, Ward might have to fill in at full-back - something Michael Appleton mooted when he re-signed the midfielder. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
3. CB - Marvin Ekpiteta
The skipper appears to have escaped any injury or illness concerns, so he should be fine to play - albeit with a new partner. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns
4. CB - James Husband
With Jordan Thorniley concussed and Rhys Williams suffering a with a bug, Hubby will have to shift over to centre-back against his former club. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
5. LB - Dom Thompson
With Hubby required in the centre, that presents Thompson with an opportunity to reclaim the left-back spot. Luke Garbutt is also an option. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
6. CM - Kenny Dougall
The Aussie will have to put in another big physical shift, probably in a deeper role once again. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
