Scunthorpe United will be looking to progress to the third round of the Leasing.com Trophy when they make the trip to take on Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Wednesday night.

SCENE-SETTER

United come into the game after progressing through Group A, in which they won 2-1 at Grimsby Town through a Kevin van Veen brace. drew 1-1 against Leicester City U21s with Ryan Colclough scoring before losing on penalties, and then defeating Sunderland 3-0 through a Lee Novak brace and Abo Eisa goal. United eventually finished second in the group behind Leicester.

League One side Blackpool, now under the management of Simon Grayson, defeated Morecambe 5-1 through goals from Ben Heneghan, Michael Nottingham, Ryan Hardie, Sullay Kaikai and Joe Nuttall, lost 2-1 at Carlisle United with Calum Macdonald notching and defeated Wolves U21s 1-0 via a Rocky Bushiri goal. They finished top of Group G.

TEAM NEWS

Manager Paul Hurst will have a similar squad to the one that faced Port Vale at the weekend to call on.

Yann Songo'o (dislocated toe), Jamie Ward (hamstring), Levi Sutton (hand) and Jordan Hallam (hamstring) all continue to miss out, although Hurst expects the majority of his injured group to be back in contention for the next league game at Forest Green a week on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Regan Slater (ankle) remains absent, while George Miller (quad strain) has been back with the group for a week and returned to the substitutes' bench last week.

PAST MEETINGS

The two sides last met in League One back on Good Friday this year, with a 0-0 draw played out in North Lincolnshire. The Seasiders defeated us 1-0 there in October last year.

Our most recent win at Bloomfield Road was our first for 17 years, and saw Tom Hopper, Duane Holmes and Hakeeb Adelakun score in a 3-2 victory.
