Preview: Blackpool vs. Burnley

Blackpool vs. Burnley

Blackpool play Burnley on Saturday hoping to extend their three-match unbeaten run.

The Seasiders have moved up to 18th place in the Championship table with an impressive victory over Crystal Palace and creditable draw at Nottingham Forest.

Manager Paul Ince will be delighted with the form of his side, but he will be forced into at least one change after Isaiah Osbourne was sent off last week.

Burnley have dismissed any possibility of relegation with a run of just one loss in their last six matches.

Sean Dyche's men have only suffered defeat to Hull City during that time, and they will be confident of extending that run against Blackpool.

The Clarets could name an unchanged lineup after they defeated Bristol City last weekend.

Recent form

Blackpool: DWLDWD

Blackpool: Gilks; Crainey, Baptiste, Basham, MacKenzie; Broadfoot, M.Phillips, Sylvestre, Grandin; Ince, Delfouneso

Burnley: Grant; Trippier, Shackell, Mills, Long; McCann, Wallace, Marney, Stanislas; Vokes, Austin

Sports Mole says: 1-1
