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
51 - Same pattern
Second-half following the same pattern as the first at the moment.
Surprised Neil Critchley didn't change it at the break, if I'm honest.
48 - Blocked
Marvin Ekpiteta makes an important block to deny Emil Riis as the ball reaches him inside the Pool box.
HALF TIME
And that brings an end to a delayed first-half.
Work to do for the Seasiders, who lost their goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw to a sickening collision with the scorer Cameron Archer.
45+10 - Booking
Ben Whiteman goes into the book for a cynical foul on Callum Connolly.
Pool have a free-kick in a good crossing position near the touchline.
45+2 - GOAL PRESTON (1-0)
Predictably, Jordan Archer scores. Good finish to be fair across Chris Maxwell and into the far corner.
Followed a quick counter after Keshi Anderson wanted a foul at the other end. Thought he was looking for it, myself.
39 - Blocked
Callum Connolly's close-range effort is blocked following a Pool corner.
At the other end, Chris Maxwell makes a comfortable save from Emil Riis’ low drive.
