BURNLEY manager Eddie Howe names an unchanged team from Tuesday's goalless draw at Leicester City for this afternoon's derby at Blackpool.

A five-man midfield is again preferred for the game at Bloomfield, with Chris McCann expected to be playing in an advanced role to support lone striker Charlie Austin.

Captain McCann has recovered from a calf knock which forced him off at the King Power Stadium in midweek.

Josh McQuoid is named on the bench for the last game of his 93-day loan spell from Millwall.

Kevin Phillips returns to the Blackpool squad after a five-game absence with a hip problem. The striker starts on the bench.

The Tangerines are guaranteed a place in the play-offs if they win this Lancashire derby.

BLACKPOOL: Matthew Gilks, Stephen Crainey, Neal Eardley, Ian Evatt, Stephen Dobbie, Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Alex Baptiste, Barry Ferguson, Matt Phillips, Angel, Tom Ince.

Subs: Kevin Phillips, Ludovic Sylvestre, Nouha Dicko, Bob Harris, Loman Tresor LuaLua.

BURNLEY: Lee Grant; Kieran Trippier, Michael Duff, David Edgar, Daniel Lafferty; Ross Wallace, Dean Marney, Chris McCann, Marvin Bartley, Junior Stanislas; Charlie Austin.

Subs: Brian Jensen, Danny Ings, Josh McQuoid, Cameron Howieson, Joe Jackson.
