Preston North End v Blackpool - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Preston 1-0 Blackpool
  • Seasiders looking to complete historic league double over fierce rivals
  • Pool sweating over the fitness of right-backs Dujon Sterling and Jordan Gabriel

Jerry Yates is Blackpool's third change of the night. Gary Madine leaves the pitch.

A reminder Pool can make a fourth should they want to due to the concussion rule.

Pool finally show a bit of intent and get it wide to James Husband, whose delivery into the box is so, so poor. Dan Iversen collects without any hassle.

Josh Bowler does all the hard work before stumbling and skewing so wide it goes out for a throw.

Ben Whiteman curls an outswinging effort wide of the upright.

Greg Cunningham becomes the hitd Preston player to be booked for a cynical foul on Gary Madine.

Shayne Lavery, meanwhile, is on for CJ Hamilton. Hopefully he’ll be the man to provide the spark.

DJ Johnson becomes the second PNE player to be cautioned for a pull back on Kenny Dougall.

Pool seeing more of the ball now but it's still too pedestrian and predictable. Preston fairly happy to sit back and soak it up.

Space opens up for Keshi Anderson who cuts in from the left, but his curling cross is a poor one and evades everyone in the PNE box.

Keshi Anderson feeds Josh Bowler but the winger is stopped in his tracks in the Preston box. A bit better, at least.

Stating the bleeding obvious here but Kevin Stewart is such a big miss. Blackpool's midfield two not been at it whatsoever.
