TEAM NEWS
Leon McKenzie is the only doubt for City. The striker limped off during the 1-1 draw with Southampton last week. Kevin Kyle came through 45 minutes for the reserves on Monday and could be in the squad which travel today.
Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has Keith Southern out but should have a full strength side. Danny Coid could come back into contention. Check Andy Morrell is actually starting before sticking your bet on him for first goal!
