LAST MEETING
September 11, 2010: Newcastle 0-2 Blackpool
Charlie Adam and DJ Campbell hit the net as the Seasiders registered a comfortable away day victory.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Blackpool: Kingson; Eardley, Cathcart, Crainey, Silvestre; Taylor-Fletcher, Vaughan, Adam, Puncheon; Beattie, Campbell.
Newcastle: Krul; Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Enrique; Gutierrez, Barton, Tiote, Guthrie; Nolan; Lovenkrands.
Prediction
Blackpool have been on the slippiest of slopes since the turn of the year and following their defeat to Wigan last weekend, are now seen by some as near-certainties for relegation. Newcastle on the other hand look to have secured their safety after picking up a well-earned point at home to Manchester United on Monday. With confidence blooming in the North East, expect the visitors to very much enjoy their trip to the seaside and leave with three points. If so, the Seasiders will be in deep, deep trouble.
Blackpool 1-2 Newcastle
