Preview: Blackpool vs. Leicester City

Blackpool vs. Leicester City

Blackpool face Leicester City on Saturday looking to return to winning ways after losing to Millwall in midweek.

It was the Seasiders' first defeat of the Championship campaign, which saw them slip down to third position in the league table.

Manager Paul Ince could hand Scott Dobbie his first start since he joined the club on loan, while Bradley Orr could be included in defence.

Leicester moved above Blackpool with a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday, and manager Nigel Pearson could retain the same lineup that earned three points at the King Power Stadium.
