Blackpool are back in action at Bloomfield Road against Tony Mowbray's Sunderland on New Years Day.
The Seasiders will be looking to kick off 2023 with three points against a Black Cats side they impressed against during the 0-0 reverse fixture earlier in the season.
The visitors sit in mid-table as Mowbray has looked to steer the ship following Alex Neil's departure.
One to watch - Ross Stewart:
Stewart's injury midway through the season disrupted Sunderland's progress but he marked his return where he left off on the scoresheet.
Sunderland's top scorer despite playing just ten Championship games this season, the Scottish forward has continued with the form that saw him play a pivotal role in Sunderland's promotion from League One as he looks to make a mark on the international stage before long.
The Head Coach - Tony Mowbray:
Mowbray's summer departure from Blackburn Rovers after a successful number of years in charge at Ewood Park evidently stood him in good stead to quickly return to Sky Bet Championship work.
Taking the role at the Stadium of Light following Alex Neil's decision to depart for Stoke City, Mowbray has made steady progress during his early months, particularly now with the return of his goalscoring pair of Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms from injury.
Mowbray is a vastly experienced number one with time at West Bromwich Albion, Celtic and Middlesbrough seeing him build projects over time.
The Referee - Tim Robinson:
Robinson has handed out 72 yellow cards and four red cards during his 18 games so far this season, the majority of which came in the Sky Bet Championship.
His last game in charge of the Seasiders came in the 0-1 home defeat to Luton Town in early November.
Team News:
Jordan Thorniley is available once again following a one-match suspension for his red card at Hull City on Boxing Day.
