Following the impressive start to the season Blackpool have recently started to struggle with the Tangerines nearing the danger zone after losing five out of last six league games.

Understanding the severity of situation, Ian Holloway managed to bring several decent players on deadline day, hoping they will give the team a much needed boost.

The Tangerines have a great chance to create a big advantage over relegation rivals West Ham and the good news is that the boss has no fresh injury worries.

New signings Andy Reid and James Beattie could be in line for debuts, but Basham, Carney, Clark, Gilks and Martin remain unavailable.

West Ham are also in desperate need of a win as the Hammers are still tied to the bottom of the standings, but just few points behind safety.

The Hammers are looking for only their second win on the travels this term, and are hoping new signings Robbie Keane and Demba Ba will add quality to the attacking department.

Herita Ilunga remains a doubt with a hamstring problem, while Collison, Da Costa, Dyer, Hitzlsperger and Stanislas are out injured.

Victor Chandler sees Blackpool as favourites and offer 2.38 (11/8) on home win, but also promises hefty returns if West Ham win with odds on away win 3.10 (21/10). Draw pays 3.50 (5/2).
