DID YOU KNOW?
* Blackpool have won just eight points from a possible 51 since the new year.
* Stoke have gone 10 league games without scoring this season, compared to Blackpool’s seven.
* Charlie Adam (pictured right) is the second most booked player in the Premier League behind Chiek Tiote with 11 yellow cards this season.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Blackpool (4-3-3):
Gilks; Eardley, Baptiste, Evatt, Crainey; Vaughan, Adam, Southern; Phillips, Campbell, Taylor-Fletcher.
Blackpool have no fresh injury concerns after last week’s game against Newcastle and may well start with the same side that picked up that well-earned draw.
Stoke City (4-4-2):
Begovic; Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson; Pennant, Whelan, Delap, Whitehead; Walters, Jones.
Midfielder Matthew Etherington has been ruled out after tearing his hamstring against Wolves. Ricardo Fuller has undergone surgery on an Achilles problem and will be out for the rest of the season.
Prediction
Blackpool are always capable of scoring but they have shown nothing of late to suggest they can turn their season around. Stoke, meanwhile, are finishing their season on a high and will continue this with a win against the league strugglers on Saturday.
Blackpool 1-2 Stoke
