Blackpool v West Ham – Who’s Your Money On?

A potential relegation dog fight is in the offing at Bloomfield Road tonight as both teams will be desperate to get points on the board and move up the table. Ian Holloway’s Blackpool find themselves near the bottom of the form table with one win and five losses in their last six league games. Whilst the Hammers boss, Avram Grant has mentioned how important this game is for his side if they’re going to stay out of trouble come the end of the season.

The Seasiders have no fresh injury worries and could give debuts to new deadline day signings, Andy Reid and James Beattie who will provide essential Premier League experience to their make shift squad. Also, managing to keep hold of talisman, Charlie Adam, could prove vital.

The Hammers also could give debuts to their deadline day additions with Robbie Keane signing on loan with a view to a permanent move, if they stay in the top flight. Demba Ba who signed from Hoffenheim could also start but with an array of strikers it’s hard to see which pairing Avram Grant will select. Both teams have poor defensive records which could see goals although the reverse fixture earlier in the season finished 0-0.

Prediction: 2-2
