Is Blackpool v West Brom on TV? How to follow, team news and odds

It means if Stephen Dobbie's side can follow it up with another three points at home to West Brom tonight the great escape could well and truly be on.

But with the gap to safety standing at four points with only four games remaining, any further slip-ups could prove costly.

They face a Baggies side that still have it all to play for as they sit just three points adrift of the play-off spots.
