Stephen Dobbie will take charge of Blackpool at Bloomfield Road for the first time against Wigan Athletic.
The Seasiders Interim Head Coach lost out to Luton Town in his first game in charge but there were positive signs heading into another important game of the season.
Wigan currently sit bottom of the Sky Bet Championship.
One to Watch - James McClean:
The Republic of Ireland international has been an important figure for Wigan for a number of years, particularly in this current season. Three goals and seven assists have been valuable in the final third for a Latics side struggling for quality.
The Manager - Shaun Maloney:
The former Scotland midfielder has had a mixed start to life as a Head Coach. Having gained valuable experience as part of both Celtic’s and Belgium’s backroom staff, particularly under Roberto Martinez in international football, Maloney took his first number one role with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian. Now Maloney is looking to pull off a great escape with Wigan.
The Referee - Thomas Bramall:
Bramall has taken charge of 29 matches so far this season, handing out 88 yellow cards and two red cards.
The last game he took charge of the Seasiders in was the 0-0 draw against Burnley in early March before he jetted off to Japan to take charge of two J-League games.
Team News:
Gary Madine is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, whilst Jake Beesley will also miss the remainder of the campaign.
