Blackpool have suffered a major setback ahead of their clash with Albion.

The Tangerines, already missing ex-Seagulls favourite Andrea Orlandi (foot), have now lost the services of defensive kingpin Peter Clarke.

The vastly experienced centre-back travelled to Sussex but has been forced to miss the game due to illness.

Blackpool bring in Belgian defender Jeffrey Rentmeister and name only six subs.

Contrary to some expectations, former Newcastle centre-forward Nile Ranger does not force his way into the XI.

Nathan Delfouneso and Ishmael Miller kick off in attack in a 4-4-2 line-up.

Blackpool: Lewis; McMahon, Daniels, Rentmeister, J.Oriol; Lundstram, Perkins, Cywka, E.Oriol; Delfouneso, Miller. Subs: Parish, Zoko, Dielna, Dunne, Ranger, Zenjov
