🗞️ Team News: Blackpool
Blackpool manager Mick McCarthy has some current player fitness concerns. Keshi Anderson (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) and Lewis Fiorini (Achilles tendon problems) won’t be making appearances.

We’re of the view that Southampton certainly have the ability to create the chances to score more than once when they face Blackpool, who may well find it hard scoring a goal of their own.
We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Southampton at the conclusion of the game.
