Not totally sure that the match will go ahead if the expected snow arrives but if it does then Paul Dickov and Stuart Green are both expected to be in the squad. This will Leicester's first league visit to Bloomfield Road since 1969! They have recently signed Barry Hayles, Steve Howard and Matt Oakley. The two clubs have met 90 times in total with Blackpool winning 37 times and Leicester 34 times. Unfortunately we won't be at the match tomorrow so will be online all afternoon checking the score!
I'll post the match tracker and score updates as they become available. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
