In The Dressing Room
In his pre-match interview, Ryan Lowe confirmed he would be able to choose from the same group of players who beat Huddersfield Town during the week.
Daniel Johnson and Liam Lindsay both missed that game with respective injuries, and are expected to miss out once again.
The manager also confirmed that striker Troy Parrott had surgery on his hamstring injury during the week, and he is on track to be ready for the return to action after the World Cup break.
A Look At Our Hosts
Managed by former PNE midfielder Michael Appleton, the Seasiders go into the weekend sat just above the bottom three.
They've struggled for consistency so far this season, yet to achieve back-to-back victories in the Championship, and their most recent result was a 3-1 defeat at home against Hull City on Wednesday night.
Blackpool were without a number of players in that game due to injuries and suspensions, but they'll at least have Marvin Ekpiteta and Dom Thompson returning to the fold following their one-game bans.
Going Head To Head
Games played: 96
PNE wins: 46
Draws: 19
Blackpool wins: 31
Last meeting: PNE 1-0 Blackpool, 5th April 2022
One To Watch
Forward Jerry Yates appears to have hit goalscoring form in recent weeks, having netted two braces in the past three matches.
The attacker has played both centrally and off the left in games of late, and even had to operate at right wing back in their victory over Watford a week and a half ago.
Yates also registered an assist for his side in last season’s meeting against North End at Bloomfield Road.
Match Officials
Premier League referee Chris Kavanagh will take charge of Saturday’s fixture.
Kavanagh last refereed a North End fixture back in November 2021, when PNE drew 1-1 at home to Fulham, with his last game prior to that dating back to 2017.
He has officiated seven games so far this season – one of which came in the Europa League – showing a total of 24 yellow cards. He will be assisted by Dan Cook and Daniel Robathan, with Samuel Barrott on fourth official duties.

Well it's that time again a meeting with our nearest and dearest at the other end of the M55, as derbies go this one is hard to figure, you have one side who to be fair to Pool do score goals against one thatis unable to shoot but has a defence which has been outstanding this season
They will have two back following suspension which should make them stronger.
Given the lack of goals we have scored does seem astonishing that we are five points from the top, are we going to bore them to death as we did on Tuesday.
Still not sure about Lowe let us hope we don't get a performance like we did last season, half twelve kick off als a ball ache but will be there
