Matthew Pennington isn’t involved after going off at half time on Boxing Day, while Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel is also absent after pulling out of the warm-up at the Pirelli Stadium through illness.

Blackpool FC: Dan Grimshaw, Callum Connolly, Olly Casey, James Husband, CJ Hamilton, Ollie Norburn, Albie Morgan, Dom Thompson, Karamoko Dembele, Jake Beesley, Jordan Rhodes.

Substitutions: Richard O’Donnell, Owen Dale, Kyle Joseph, Sonny Carey, Matty Virtue, Andy Lyons, Doug Tharme.
