Your indispensable guide to tonight's big game
We look ahead to tonight's big match against Fleetwood Town.
Team News
United will wait on the fitness of striker Justin Richards as they take on Fleetwood Town at the Kassam Stadium tonight (7.45pm). Richards limped off after a painful collision against Bristol Rovers on Saturday and has been undergoing intensive treatment but is rated 50/50. Alfie Potter, who replaced Richards at the weekend, stands by while Deane Smalley could come into the side for his first start of the year.
Tom Craddock is again ruled out with a groin injury but Andy Whing is fit and could come into the side after an ankle problem.
See Chris Wilder and Michael Raynes previewing the game in Yellow Player.
The Opposition
Boss Graham Alexander puts little store in the 3-0 scoreline from the two sides' meeting at Highbury last month:
“We won 3-0, but we hard to work hard to get into that position" the former Preston defender told the Blackpool Gazette. "It will be the same tonight. They have a very good manager and we know it will be a difficult game.”
The Cod Army could go into the automatic promotion places with a win but Alexander is taking nothing for granted:
“We could end up third or we could be ninth, but I am just looking at our points tally and at getting three points to add to that.”
