Preview: Blackpool vs. Fulham

Fulham and Blackpool meet at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday in their FA Cup third-round replay.

The Seasiders earned themselves a 1-1 draw against their Premier League opponents in the original fixture at the start of the month.

Both teams will be eager to make it through to the fourth round of the competition following recent poor runs in their respective leagues.

Blackpool have failed to win in their last five matches, while Fulham have recorded one victory in their previous six outings.

Stephen Crainey is expected to start for the hosts and there could also be a place for Gary Taylor-Fletcher in the side.

Meanwhile, the visitors could name a similarly-strong lineup to the one that was held to a draw in the first encounter.

Recent form:

Blackpool: LDLDDL

Fulham: LDLWDD

Possible lineups:

Blackpool: Gilks; Eardley, Baptiste, Broadfoot, Crainey; Osbourne, Basham, Sylvestre, Ince; Delfouneso, K Phillips

Fulham: Schwarzer; Hangeland, Richardson, Hughes, Riether; Karagounis, Duff, Kacaniklic; Berbatov, Petric, Ruiz

Sports Mole says: 1-2
