We go into the game on the back of a four game unbeaten run since losing for the first and only time so far this season at Walsall on 24th August. We followed that up with home draws against Tranmere and Macclesfield but won the last two games at Wrexham (3-1) and then last week's win.
Blackpool have struggled at youth team level recently. Last season, having finished 2011/13 season at the bottom, they eventually clawed their way up to 12th in a 16 team league but this season have started off much better.
They too have lost just once, and that was at Rochdale, the current leaders. They've also travelled to second place Walsall and returned with a 3-0 win.
Those goals conceded at Rochdale are the only goals against them in five games. The other win was a 1-0 win at home to Shrewsbury and two other away games, at Macclesfield and Tranmere, have both ended 0-0.
Last season we both beat each other once. Blackpool won 3-1 at Gawthorpe in September but in the following month we won 6-1 in the return game with Jason Gilchrist netting a hat trick.
Tomorrow's game, which kicks off at 11 a.m. is also a warm up for the first round of the Youth Alliance Cup 1st round when we meet again, at the same venue, in two weeks time.
