Sports Mole looks ahead to Ian Holloway facing former club Blackpool for the first time since taking over at Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway comes up against his former club Blackpool for the first time on Saturday as the two sides meet at Selhurst Park in the Championship.

Holloway joined the Eagles last month following a three-year spell with Blackpool that saw them promoted to the Premier League.

Palace have a chance of topping the table with a victory this weekend, while a win for the visitors could put them within two points of the playoff places.

Top scorer Glenn Murray is expected to start for the hosts following nine goals in his last six matches, while Tom Ince will be the dangerman for the Seasiders after seven goals in his last seven games.
