Despite losing 1-0 to Swansea City, Michael Appleton will be keen to see a similar level of performance against QPR in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
Here’s how we think the Seasiders might line up...
1. GK - Dan Grimshaw

2. RB - Jordan Gabriel
After two sub appearances, now might be the right time to throw Gabriel in from the start, albeit he may be limited to 60 minutes. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. CB - Marvin Ekpiteta
We saw a glimpse of last season's Ekpiteta on Saturday when he produced a miraculous last-ditch block. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. CB - Rhys Williams
The Liverpool loanee is likely to get the nod at centre-back again, despite Jordan Thorniley's impressive showing in the cup last week. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
5. LB - Dom Thompson
The left-back was in impressive form against Swansea on Saturday so is likely to keep his place, even with James Husband back in contention. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. CDM - Kenny Dougall
The Aussie performed well on Saturday in his first league start of the season. Callum Connolly could also be an option if he's freed up from right-back. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
