- Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Joel Randall have contributed crucial goals for Peterborough, but the side’s goal threat relies heavily on this small core.
- Blackpool boss Steve Bruce was sacked on 21 October and replaced by Ian Evatt, who will have a new team to mastermind as he looks to get a bounce from his appointment by taking the Seasiders up the league standings.
- Josh Bowler and Emil Hansson offer Blackpool pace and directness out wide, having chipped in with goals and assists, especially in cup action.
