Squad sheets: Blackpool v Fulham

Reality has bitten hard since Blackpool's fairytale start to life in the Premier League – a thumping at the Emirates followed by Carling Cup elimination in Milton Keynes – but home games will determine whether top-flight survival is anything more than a pipe dream. Despite a seamless managerial transition from Roy Hodgson to Mark Hughes, Fulham would be high on the Tangerine wishlist for Bloomfield Road's first date: a full season has gone by since the London club's last away league win, at Portsmouth 12 months ago, and they have scored just once in their past five matches.
