Burton Albion vs Blackpool Predicted Lineups

Burton Albion Predicted XI (3-5-2): Collins; Godwin-Malife, Moon, Hartridge; Lofthouse, Chauke, Evans, Webster, Armer; Beesley, Shade.

Bowyer has a near-full squad, with long-term absentees Delap, Vancooten, Hazlehurst, Williams, McKiernan, and Sibbick ruled out. Versatile defender Tom Hamer remains sidelined until the new year. Shade and Beesley lead the attack after recent goals.

Evatt's side misses Taylor, Morgan, Ennis, and Imray through injury. Strikers Kouassi and Lavery are out until January. Fletcher, Blackpool's away top-scorer with three goals, partners Bowler in a bid to end their road woes.
