Sports Mole previews Blackpool's Championship game against Derby County.

Blackpool host mid-table Derby County at Bloomfield Road on Saturday, needing three points to move themselves further away from the Championship's bottom three.

Paul Ince's side are four points clear of the relegation zone with two games remaining, following last week's 6-1 defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Derby, who sit 11th in the table, secured safety by beating struggling Peterborough United 3-1 last weekend.

Ince has no injury concerns ahead of the game but he may be tempted to make changes to the side which lost heavily at Brighton, with Nathan Delfouneso in contention to start.

Derby boss Nigel Clough will be without goalkeeper Frank Fielding after his sending-off against Peterborough, so Adam Legzdins will take his place between the sticks.
