The Teams are in! Blackpool v WBA


By Jemma Tappenden

Victory tonight at Bloomfield Road is an absolute must for West Bromwich Albion if they are to reclaim their place at the top of the Championship table. Leaders Bristol City have 70 points, and with Albion currently on 67 they will have to settle for joint points, but would jump the current leaders with their superior goal difference.

Blackpool on the other hand currently occupy 17th spot.  Their 50 points sees them currently only 4 points above Barnsley, the side taking at present the final relegation spot.

Mowbray makes four changes to the side that started against Portsmouth on Saturday.  Miller, Brunt, Pele and the cup-tied Moore are restored to the starting eleven.  Zoltan Gera misses out completely and Phillips, Morrison and Bednar drop to the bench.  Mowbray has opted for no reserve keeper.

Blackpool gaffer Simon Grayson names the same side that drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace the weekend before last.

Albion Line Up (4-5-1):

Keeper - Kiely.

Defence - Hoefkens, Clement, Albrechtsen, Robinson.

Midfield – Koren, Pele, Greening, Brunt.

Up front – Miller, Moore

Subs: Barnett, Bednar, Kim, Phillips, Morrison

Blackpool Line Up (4-4-2):

Keeper - Rachubka

Defence – Barker, Gorkss, Evatt, Crainey.

Midfield – Taylor-Fletcher, Flynn, Jorgensen, Hoolahan.

Upfront – Burgess, McPhee.

Subs: Flinders (GK), Coid, Southern, Holt, Dikov.

Referee: J Moss.
