Squad sheets: Blackburn Rovers v Blackpool

Fourteenth hosts 15th in a battle of clubs that have been sucked into the relegation battle and who stand only a point above the drop zone. Steve Kean's Blackburn side have not won since late January as rumours grow that despite the new owner's assurances, he could be sacked in the summer if Premier League status is not maintained. For Blackpool, since mid-January their league return stands at only four points from a possible 27 which has, rather sadly, put Ian Holloway's early season success story into freefall. Each team requires a win.
