Swansea City v Blackpool: Build-up, team news and live updates

Blackpool seeing more of the ball but it's a bit laboured at the moment. Neil Critchley urging his troops forward from the sideline.

Demetri Mitchell escapes punishment despite a nasty looking challenge on Ryan Manning. The Blackpool man went with his boot up to try and control the ball. There was no malicious intent but it could have been a nasty one for the Swansea man.

Callum Connolly’s dragged effort is blocked by a Swansea man after Keshi Anderson’s route into the box had been closed off.

Goes Blackpool’s way. Kyle Naughton’s header back to keeper Ben Hamer seemed to be a fairly simple one, but it misses the intended target and bobbles behind for a corner.

Dujon Sterling deservedly goes into the book for pulling back Swansea’s Ryan Manning. No complaints with that one.

Marvin Ekpiteta makes a vital block to deny Swansea a second as the hosts patiently work the ball into the danger area.

Neil Critchley and Russell Martin having a polite word with each other and the fourth official in front of me. All very cordial, you'll be pleased to know.

Keshi Anderson lays the ball off into the path of Jordan Gabriel, who takes a touch before letting fly. His ambitious effort is blocked though.

Ryan Wintle gets the second-half underway.

Big 45 minutes needed from the Seasiders!

One moment of quality from Joel Piroe separates two evenly matched sides at the break. A game of few openings so far.
