Team news

The former Brentford defender missed the New Year's Eve 1-1 draw with Coventry through injury.

If he does play, he will replace Hayden Mullins in defence who will move to midfield in place of Aki Rihiilahti.

Ade Akinbiyi, who scored the leveller against Cov, along with Wayne Routledge will both start the match on the subs' bench.

For Blackpool, Colin Hendry and Leam Richardson - both on-loan from Bolton - have been cleared to play.

Boss Steve McMahon will name an unchanged side from their New Year's Eve game against Huddersfield.
