Vassell missed out Blackpool's 1-0 defeat at Mansfield on Tuesday with what manager Gary Bowyer described as a minor knock.

The rest of the side remains unchanged as the Seasiders look to get back to winning ways against Newport, who come into the game languishing bottom of the League Two table.

Newport went down to a 1-0 defeat at home to Wycombe during the week, which brought an end to their three-game winning run.
