Defender absent from Blackpool starting XI for trip to Northampton

Blackpool boss Neil Critchley has made one change to his Seasiders side for tonight's game at Northampton.

James Husband has missed out on selection after he picked up a thigh injury in Saturday's goalless draw against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. He's not recovered in time to feature at Sixfields and has not travelled with Blackpool for the game. His place in Critchley's starting line-up goes to Ollie Casey, who replaced Husband in the 19th minute of the game against Pompey.

That game also saw top-scorer Jordan Rhodes withdrawn early from the action - although his early withdrawal followed a sending off in the 43rd minute. That decision by referee Edward Duckworth has since been overturned, allowing the striker to resume normal duties up front for the Seasiders.

Blackpool: Grimshaw, Gabriel, Pennington, Norburn, Byers, Dembele, Coulson, Rhodes, Beesley, Casey, Ekpiteta. Subs: O'Donnell, Connolly, Joseph, Carey, Virtue, Lavery, Hamilton.
