The supposedly perma-injured Louis Almond is actually fully fit and has just been farmed out on loan to Barrow. Let's hope he's not bitter about it. (sorry, couldn't resist!)

Blackpool to field weakened team for FA Cup tie
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway says he will field fringe players in their FA Cup third round tie with Southampton as the Premier League is more important.

The Seasiders lie 13th in the table and have four Premier League games this month, including home matches against Liverpool and Manchester United.
"Our priority all season has been to maintain our status [in the Premier League]," he said.
"With as many games as we have got this month, that is what our focus is."
Holloway's team selection hit the headlines in November when he rested 10 Blackpool players for a Premier League game against Aston Villa before they came up against strugglers West Ham
