LAST MEETING
September 25, 2010: Blackpool 1-2 Blackburn
Brett Emerton scored in the third minute of added time to break the Seasiders' hearts after Matty Phillips had scored his first ever Premier League goal with five minutes left.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Blackburn Rovers: Robinson; Salgado, Samba, Nelsen, Olsson; Hoilett, Jones, Nzonzi, Pedersen; Kalinic, Santa Cruz.
Blackpool: Kingson; Eardley, Evatt, Cathcart, Crainey; Puncheon, Adam, Vaughan, Varney; Beattie, Taylor-Fletcher.
Prediction
Both teams are desperate for points and I think the play will showcase that perfectly. With two dodgy defences on show there should be chances aplenty but whether either team has the fire power to score the goals remains to be seen.
Blackburn 1-1 Blackpool
