LINE UPS: Blackpool forced into one change for Brackley tie

Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer has been forced into making one change for today's FA Cup second round clash against Brackley Town.

Teenager Bright Osayi-Samuel comes into the side to replace Colin Daniel who misses out through a hamstring injury suffered during last weekend's 4-1 league win against Newport County.

The rest of the side remains unchanged, with in-form striker Kyle Vassell leading the line alongside Jamille Matt - who scored in the last round against his former side Kidderminster Harriers.

The Seasiders were expected to make more changes after Bowyer revealed they have suffered a handful of knocks during the week, but the Pool boss has opted to stick with the same side that has seen them climb into the League Two play-off spots.

A spot in the third round draw awaits the winner's of today's game, with the draw taking place on Monday night.

Brackley, who play in the National League North, saw off League One side Gillingham in their first round replay.

Blackpool: Slocombe, Mellor, Aldred, Robertson, Taylor, Potts, Payne, Pugh, Osayi-Samuel, Vassell, Matt.

Subs: Lyness, Nolan, Aimson, McAlister, Yeates, Cullen, Gnanduillet.

Referee: Ross Joyce
