Here’s how we think the Seasiders might line up...
1. GK - Chris Maxwell
Even though Dan Grimshaw is now back available, I'd expect Maxwell to keep his spot in between the sticks. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
2. RB - Callum Connolly
With Jordan Gabriel and Dujon Sterling sidelined, Connolly will fill in at right-back once again. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. CB - Marvin Ekpiteta
Having recovered from cramp, the club's player of the season should come straight back into the side. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. CB - Richard Keogh
With Jordan Thorniley an injury doubt, Keogh will keep his spot in the back four. Photo: CameraSport - Paul Greenwood
5. LB - Luke Garbutt
Garbutt will replace James Husband in a like-for-like replacement following his teammate's hamstring injury. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. CM - Kenny Dougall
