Is Swansea City v Blackpool on TV? How to follow, team news and odds

Mick McCarthy's side will have been disappointed to take just two points from their back-to-back home games against relegation rivals Huddersfield and Rotherham last week.

Blackpool, who are without a win in their last 13 league games, are four points adrift of safety, albeit they have two games in hand on Cardiff City.

As for Swansea, they sit 15th but have conceded six goals in their last two games during their defeats to Birmingham City and Sheffield United.

The Seasiders are expected to be without as many as 10 players against the Swans, but McCarthy remains upbeat despite the dire injury situation.

Madine is one of TEN players missing at this moment in time, with Marvin Ekpiteta, Charlie Goode, Tom Trybull, Liam Bridcutt, Kevin Stewart, Lewis Fiorini, Keshi Anderson, Shayne Lavery and Jake Beesley all out through injury.

As for Swansea, they’re hoping to have defender Joel Latibeaudiere back available after he missed the weekend defeat to Sheffield United with a calf strain.

Liam Walsh and Cameron Congreve are both in contention after featuring for Swansea’s Under-21s on Monday.

Geoff Eltringham is the man in charge. He’s refereed 16 games so far this season, dishing out 57 yellow cards and two reds. He last officiated the Seasiders for the 0-0 draw against Sheffield United last season.
