Nottingham Forest will be without Britt Assombalonga, after he collected a serious looking knee injury on Wednesday night.
Saturday's game may also still come too soon for Michael Mancienne, who is likely to be available next week.
Kelvin Wilson is also unlikely to be rushed back into the squad. Otherwise Andy Reid and Chris Cohen remain on the long term injury list.
Robert Tesche is fit, with manager Dougie Freedman revealing that the midfielder was only left out for tactical reasons in midweek.
"Tesche was not injured," he said. "Eric Lichaj was carrying a knock and I felt I had not had enough cover in that position at Brighton, which is why we had Todd Kane on the bench instead."
Key Battle: Joe Lewis v Henri Lansbury
Given that Blackpool have conceded 15 goals in their last five games, it is perhaps predictable to suggest that their goalkeeper could have a key role to play.
But the experienced former Peterborough man, who is currently on loan from Cardiff City, will need to be on top form if Blackpool are to add to their tally of four 1-0 home successes this season.
And, with Britt Assombalonga injured, it is the in form Lansbury who is Forest's biggest threat. The midfielder has made a habit of scoring flurries of goals during his career and, having notched four in his last four outings, will hope to maintain that recent streak at Bloomfield Road.
Last time they met
Saturday August 9, 2014: Forest 2 Blackpool 0
Stuart Pearce notched up a win in his first game as Nottingham Forest manager, as a pieced together Blackpool side arrived at the City Ground.
The visitors had suffered a shambles of a summer, which saw nine new faces pitched into the match day squad – which only included four players on the bench.
Their situation was summed up by the fact that, having signed former Forest striker Ishmael Miller, he was not able to play for Blackpool as he had not been properly registered.
And the chaos was reflected on the pitch, where Forest secured a comfortable win, courtesy of a simple finish from Michail Antonio and a more spectacular effort from Chris Burke.
Forest's win was only their second in 13 games against Blackpool – but the most memorable moment came as Pearce emerged from the tunnel.
"It was a fantastic reception. I am not sure there is another footballer in the country who has had the same relationship with fans for decades," said Pearce.
Opposition in focus
Manager - Lee Clark: As if the beleaguered boss did not have enough problems to contend with, the Football League are now launching an investigation into the state of the club's pitch.
Forest will find out just how bad the Bloomfield Road playing surface is tomorrow. But Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka was not pulling any punches following their 2-1 win there in midweek.
"It's unbelievable," Karanka said. "The pitch wasn't good enough and it's a lack of respect for everyone who pays to come. I can't understand why a pitch like this is allowed."
The Bloomfield Road playing surface has been a sandpit on many of Forest's recent visits and Clark admits it is an issue, saying: "We can't do anything about it in the short-term. If we tried to re-lay the pitch now it wouldn't set in time. It's a concern for me."
Blackpool have won only four times all season, all of which were at home and all by the score of 1-0 – over Cardiff, Birmingham, Millwall and Brighton.
One to watch - Jamie O'Hara: Bombed out at Wolves and made to train with a group of outcasts who were not part of Kenny Jackett's plans, it is easy to forget that the midfielder is a player who commanded a fee of £5m when he moved to Molineux in 2011.
Still only 28, despite having seemingly been around for years, O'Hara was regarded as a player with promise after coming through the ranks at Spurs.
The suggestion at Wolves was that he may not have the attitude to match his ability. But, having joined Blackpool on a free transfer, O'Hara will be looking to prove his critics wrong.
