The Seasiders are down to the bare bones, with doubts over top goalscorer Jerry Yates after he missed Good Friday’s disastrous defeat to Cardiff City.
Jordan Thorniley was also missing for the second game running, while Marvin Ekpiteta, Charlie Goode, Liam Bridcutt, Kevin Stewart, Tom Trybull, Shayne Lavery, Jake Beesley and Gary Madine all remain sidelined.

10. RW - Josh Bowler
He grabbed the late consolation on Friday but he also offered some sort of threat, which is more than can be said for the others. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. LW - Keshi Anderson
Keshi at least made an impact off the bench against Cardiff, albeit the game was already as good as over. Alternatively CJ Hamilton is an option. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
12. ST - Morgan Rogers
Assuming Jerry Yates doesn't make a miraculous recovery from his hamstring injury, Rogers will have to lead the line again. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
