Derby day headache for Blackpool boss?

Kyle Vassell, who missed Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Northampton Town with a slight knock, comes back into the side to replace Armand Gnanduillet.

That's despite the Frenchman scoring the first of Blackpool's three goals as they went on to record their first back-to-back wins since September.

Jim McAlister and Kelvin Mellor are the only absentee, although both have returned to training, meaning Pool have a fully-fit squad heading into their final games of the season.

Fleetwood, searching for their first ever win against Blackpool, have made three changes to their side from the 1-0 win at Oxford.

Nathan Pond, Paddy Madden and Conor McAleny come into the side, while Cian Bolger, Bobby Grant and Jordy Hiwula drop out.

The Cod Army are likely to line up in a 4-4-2 diamond formation, with Ash Hunter behind the front two.

Both sides will be looking to take the bragging rights having drew 0-0 at Highbury back in November.

In fact, just one goal has been scored in the last three derby's.

But both are currently enjoying a hot streak of form. Fleetwood have won five of their last six games while the Seasiders have scored eight goals this week, conceding none in return.

Blackpool: Lumley, Turton, Tilt, Robertson, Daniel, Ryan, Spearing, Longstaff, Solomon-Otabor, Delfouneso, Vassell
