Squad sheets: Blackpool v Aston Villa

Oh, to be a fly on wall in the Bloomfield Road dugouts. Blackpool manager Ian Holloway insists "I never hold any grudges" but his unsavoury response to Gérard Houllier's January pursuit of Charlie Adam adds piquancy to a game with a myriad of subplots. Along the touchline will be Sian Massey, on her Premier League return, while two England goalscorers, Darren Bent and Ashley Young, line up for a Villa side finally settling under Houllier. In contrast, Holloway has been tinkering with personnel during a slide of five straight defeats.
