Blackpool are set to face a daunting task on Tuesday night, when they host high-flying Wycombe Wanderers at Bloomfield Road.

Following their 1-0 win over Sunderland at the weekend, Wycombe go into the game still second in League One, two points clear of the play-off places.

For their part, Blackpool are currently eighth in the third tier standings, with a run of just two wins in their last ten league games seeing them drop out of the top six places in recent weeks.

The Tangerines will be desperate to turn that around as quickly as possible, although that will not be easy in midweek, owing to Wycombe's own recent form.

Here, we've taken a look at the starting XI Blackpool manager Simon Grayson could name in order to give his side the best possible chance of taking three points against one the division's early pacesetters.

Having experimented with a number of formations already this season, we've gone for Grayson to use a 4-3-3 system on Tuesday night.

Despite some shaky moments already this campaign, Jak Alnwick has been an ever-present between the posts in the league this season, so he should continue in goal in midweek.

Likewise ahead of him, the quartet of Ollie Turton, Ben Heneghan, Curtis Tilt and James Husband look to have established a recently solid back four in recent weeks, so we imagine the defence could be relatively unchanged on Tuesday.

Further forward however, it does seem there could be propensity to change.

In midfield, Jordan Thompson is once again available after missing Blackpool's last league game - a 2-1 defeat at home to Rotherham on the 12th October - having been on international duty with Northern Ireland.

He could return in the centre of the park alongside captain Jay Spearing and Liam Feeney, who have been regulars in the league starting XI this season, and could pose a threat to Wycombe with his pace and delivery.

Ahead of them, Nathan Delfouneso made his return from injury as a substitute in the defeat to Rotherham, before starting the EFL Trophy game at Carlisle the following Tuesday, while Grayson has revealed he is hopeful that Sullay Kaikai will be available to return to the fold after missing the last five games in all competitions with his own injury issues.

That would be another big boost for Blackpool, who ought to once again be led by up top by Armand Gnanduillet, who will be aiming to add to his club-high seven goals in all competitions this season.
