Here’s how we think the Seasiders might line up...

1. GK - Chris Maxwell

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

4. CB - Richard Keogh

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
