The Seasiders face the tough task of taking on Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground this year, with the Welsh currently sat third in the League One table.
Steve Bruce’s side have picked up 10 points in their last four games, but will need to improve on Saturday’s underwhelming 0-0 stalemate with Stevenage at Bloomfield Road.
The last time Blackpool won a game in the traditional festive game was back in 2016, as Mark Cullen scored the only goal of a 1-0 victory away to Hartlepool United in League Two.
We’ve taken a closer look at where that team is now:
