Blackpool v Queens Park Rangers: Preview
Blackpool are set to hand a debut to new loan signing Krisztian Nemeth when they take on QPR at Bloomfield Road.
The 20-year-old Hungarian is yet to make a senior appearance for parent club Liverpool but was a key member of the Merseysiders' title-winning reserve team last season.
He will go straight into the squad for the Rangers clash and caretaker bosses Tony Parkes and Steve Thompson are also hoping to sign a midfielder on loan ahead of the game.
Keith Southern's ankle has swollen up badly following an injury he sustained after scoring the second goal in Saturday's 2-0 home win over Birmingham.
He is rated as doubtful to recover in time to face the big-spending Londoners and Claus Jorgensen will definitely miss out as he begins a three-match ban.
Jorgensen was sent off against Birmingham and strikers Ben Burgess and Steve McPhee remain sidelined with knee injuries.
Martin Rowlands and Patrick Agyemang have joined QPR's long-term casualties ahead of the game.
Skipper Rowlands suffered a cruciate knee-ligament injury during the win at Derby last time out and has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Hogan Ephraim replaced Rowlands at Pride Park and will hope to keep his place in midfield.
Striker Agyemang last week underwent surgery on a thigh injury he sustained in training and will not be back in action until mid-April.
Rangers have been without midfielder Akos Buzsaky for the majority of the season with a knee injury, while frontman Rowan Vine has been out since last April with a broken leg.
Centre-half Kaspars Gorkss returns to Bloomfield Road for the first time since he joined Rangers in the summer.
