Thompson, meanwhile, starts for the Seasiders for the first time since being called up to Northern Ireland's squad in mid-March.

Donervon Daniels has picked up a knock, while Michael Nottingham, Callum Guy and Joe Dodoo have been left out of the squad.

Mark Howard, Jimmy Ryan and Max Clayton remain sidelined with long-term injuries.

Today's opponents Scunthorpe are still fighting for survival in League One, as they sit just a point above the dropzone in 19th.
