Eoin Toal arrival Blackpool

Captain Eoin Toal returns to lead Wanderers as the Whites look to extend their unbeaten run to nine games.

The defender is back after missing the mid-week draw at Reading through injury with boss Steven Schumacher making three changes to his starting line-up.

On-loan winger Corey-Blackett Taylor also comes back into the side along with midfielder Kyle Dempsey.

Wideman Thierry Gale returns to the match-day squad with a place on the bench as Wanderers seek a fourth successive home win to keep the pressure on the top two in League One.

Former Whites’ manager Ian Evatt returns to the Toughsheet Community Stadium for the first time since his four-and-a-half-year reign ended in January, 2025 with his Blackpool side looking for a first away win since December.

On-loan Wanderers' midfielder Joel Randall is unavailable for the Tangerines due to injury but ex-Whites' defender Zac Ashworth starts for the visitors.
