Tom Ince admits that Blackpool are eager to return to the Premier League.

Blackpool midfielder Tom Ince has said that his side are eager to return to the Premier League ahead of the first leg of their play-off semi-final against Birmingham City tonight.

The Seasiders, who were relegated from the top flight a season ago, host the Midlands oufit at Bloomfield Road this evening with the intention of following Reading and Southampton back to the highest level.

"To be in the play-offs is great," he told Sky Sports News.

"It has been a bit of a tough season, after a slow start but we have had a few good runs.

"It is great for the likes of Reading and Southampton to [have been promoted], and the Blackpool fans want the same. As a club we have been there before and we want to be back there again."

Meanwhile, Birmingham's Marlon King claims that the pressure is on Blackpool.
