With that in mind, here’s how we think the Seasiders could line up...
7. CM - Kenny Dougall

8. CM - Charlie Patino
The Arsenal loanee had a rare off day against Birmingham last week, but it would still be a surprise if he didn't start. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
9. CM - Sonny Carey
Like Patino, Carey wasn't at his best last week but I'd still expect him to start. Callum Wright might have something to say about that though. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
10. RW - Ian Poveda
After impressing off the bench last week and being praised by his boss Michael Appleton, Poveda deserves a chance to show what he can do from the start. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. LW - Jerry Yates
Will be hoping to get more service this weekend after having little impact against Birmingham. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
12. ST - Gary Madine
After recovering from illness, the striker will be out to score against his former club. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
