TEAM NEWS
Blackpool caretaker manager Steve Thompson has a near fully-fit squad to choose from for the game with Cardiff.
Winger Matt Phillips (toe) and defender Ian Evatt (bruised knee) are his only absentees.
Cardiff manager Malky Mackay has one injury to contend with, striker Nicky Maynard (knee), who has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Mackay must decide whether to start striker Tommy Smith, who returned from injury on the bench last week.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Cardiff recorded their biggest ever victory over Blackpool in September with a 3-0 triumph at the City of Cardiff Stadium; Matthew Connolly scored twice and Pete Whittingham once.
• Now the Welsh club are pursuing their fifth league victory at Bloomfield Road in their history, to complete a second double over the Seasiders in six seasons.
• The last three Championship clashes on this ground have been 1-1 draws.
Blackpool
• Managerless Blackpool are without victory in seven in all competitions (D3, L4), since beating Blackburn, 2-0 at home, on 15 December.
• The Seasiders have drawn more games than any other club outside the top nine, but are also unbeaten at home against top-half sides.
• The Bloomfield Road club have allowed opponents to score first in 17 of their 27 games.
Cardiff City
• Cardiff have a commanding lead at the top of the table having picked up 13 points from an unbeaten last five games, and have lost only one of the last 12.
• The Bluebirds are vying for a 200th away win in second level league football, and are enjoying their best season at this level for 53 years. In 1959-60, they were on equivalent points and went on to gain promotion to the top-flight; the last occasion they achieved such a feat.
• Mark Hudson is poised to make his 300th career league start.
