Blackpool welcome League One Champions Birmingham City to Bloomfield Road on Wednesday evening.
The Champions will be looking to break the EFL record of 106 points in a season, which was set by Reading in the Championship back in 2005-06 season.
In the Seasiders' last fixture, the Pool were forced to share the points at the Brick Community Stadium thanks to a Lee Evans penalty.
For the visitors this Wednesday, they dismantled Mansfield in a comfortable 4-0 victory last Sunday.
Opposition In Focus:
The Blues have taken the league by force after being relegated from the Championship last season, suffering only three defeats in 44 games. Having already recorded a record points tally in League One, the Bluenose fans will be hoping that they can reach a tally of up to 111.
Birmingham have not lost in the league since Bolton Wanderers on 4 March, when they suffered a 3-1 defeat at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.
After signing from Fulham in the summer for a League One record transfer fee of £20 million, Jay Stansfield is the Blues' top goal scorer on 19 goals. Currently second in the Golden Boot race behind Leyton Orient's Charlie Kelman, who’s on 21.

Supporter Behaviour
Supporters are reminded that any form of racially biased, homophobic or sexist abuse, harassment or discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated. Anyone found to have taken part in such activity may face arrest, prosecution, confiscation of their season ticket and being banned from all future games.
As a reminder, the Club was found guilty of misconduct and was subsequently placed under an FA Action Plan and fined £35,000 back in 2023 due to use of discriminatory language and poor behaviour by a small section of supporters. Should incidents like these occur again, the Club is at risk of increased financial sanctions and a further FA Action Plan.
It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure we all have an enjoyable matchday experience, free from persecution and discrimination.
