Ian Holloway's Blackpool will look to defend a two-match unbeaten home record when Middlesbrough visit Bloomfield Road tomorrow night.

During those two games the Tangerines have found the net on eight occasions, shipping just one goal in the process.

Thomas Ince is expected to start in the Blackpool attack having scored five goals and made four assists for his teammates this season. Fellow attacker Matt Phillips is also likely to keep his place in the side.

Middlesbrough, who collected their first clean sheet of the season against Ipswich Town on Saturday, had the best away record outside of the clubs that got promoted in the Championship last season.

However, in the same fixture during the previous campaign, Tony Mowbray's team were rolled over by Blackpool 3-1.

Recent form:

Blackpool: DLWWW
Middlesbrough: WLWWL

Blackpool: Gilks; Baptiste, Eardley, Evatt, Harris; M Phillips, Sylvestre, Martinez, Ince; K Phillips, Taylor-Fletcher
