Preview: Blackpool vs. Charlton

Blackpool vs. Charlton

Blackpool entertain low-scoring Charlton Athletic on Saturday looking for their sixth win of the Championship campaign.

Thomas Ince will have a fitness test before the match as he looks to shake off a hip injury, while Gary Taylor-Fletcher looks likely to continue his return from the sidelines.

Johnnie Jackson and Danny Haynes are Chris Powell's only injury worries ahead of the trip to Bloomfield Road, but Rob Hulse and Abdul Razak could make their debuts for the club.

The Tangerines have won this fixture on the last two occasions, and have not tasted defeat at home to the Addicks since 1981, when they were in the old Third Division.

Defeat would condemn Powell's men to their fifth defeat of the season - the same number that they racked up in the entirety of their promotion-winning League One campaign last season.

Current form:

Blackpool: DWLLW Charlton: LLWDL

Possible lineups:

Blackpool: Gilks; Crainey, Evatt, Baptiste, Broadfoot; Robertson, M Phillips, Sylvestre, Martinez; Taylor-Fletcher, Phillips

Charlton: Hamer, Solly, Morrison, Cort, Wilson; Kerkar, Hollands, Stephens, Green, Jackson; Wright-Phillips

Sports Mole says: 2-0
