Gary Bowyer has made one change to the starting 11 which beat Carlisle United last Saturday, for this afternoon’s trip to Scunthorpe United.
Ben Richards-Everton serves the first of his three-match suspension, meaning Anthony O’Connor takes his place in the centre of defence.
Clayton Donaldson makes his 600th career appearance, starting in attack alongside captain James Vaughan.
And there are returns to the substitutes bench for Tyler French and Hope Akpan, following starts in Tuesday’s Leasing.com Trophy clash with Manchester City Under-21s.
