Sports Mole previews Blackpool's Championship match against Blackburn Rovers at Bloomfield Road this weekend.

Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers go head to head in the Championship this weekend with both teams eager to climb up the table.

The Seasiders were close to clinching promotion to the Premier League under former manager Ian Holloway last season but under new boss Michael Appleton they currently sit 11th in the table.

The visitors this weekend have the same points as their opponents and can move up towards the top 10 in the table with a victory at Bloomfield Road.

Nathan Delfouneso is likely to start for the home side this weekend following his goal in last weekend's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace, while Blackburn boss Henning Berg is likely to opt for Jordan Rhodes to lead the line for his side.
