Dan Gosling has been handed his first start for Blackpool in this afternoon's Championship clash with Lancashire rivals Wigan Athletic.
The 23-year-old, who is on loan from Newcastle United, replaces Isaac Osbourne as the Tangerines make one change from the side that drew 0-0 at Charlton two weeks ago.
Alex Rae and former boss Steve Thompson are in charge of Blackpool today, as manager Paul Ince begins his five-match stadium ban.
Opponents Wigan will start the contest without a recognised striker in their starting XI.
Forwards Grant Holt and Marc-Antoine Fortune are on the bench, while Manchester United loanee Nick Powell is expected to be deployed in the 'false number nine' position.
