Harry Kane comes into Leicester's squad for tomorrow's trip to Bloomfield Road. The 19-year-old Tottenham striker has joined the Foxes on loan until the end of the season. It is a clear sign that Nigel Pearson has finally lost confidence in Vardy, Waghorn and Futacs. All have had opportunities this season and all have failed to take them. Kane won't start many games as the partnership of Wood and Nugent is well established. However, he is a good option to have on the bench. Matty James picked up a knock in midweek and may well be replaced by King. Marshall has simply not performed in recent weeks and I would expect Dyer to get the nod on the left hand side of midfield.
New Blackpool boss Paul Ince has the task of arresting his team's serious dip in form. They have won just 2 of their last 11 Championship fixtures - a run which has seen them turn from play-off contenders into potential relegation candidates. Blackpool sit in 15th place, just 5 points clear of the drop zone. This is a match that Leicester need to win in order to get their promotion charge on track again. Back to back defeats against Peterborough and Charlton have put the Foxes down into 5th place in the table. Both were very poor performances. With just 10 weeks of the Championship season remaining, Leicester can't afford for their slump in form to continue any longer.
Probable line-up:
Schmeichel
De Laet Morgan (c) Keane Konchesky
Knockaert King Drinkwater Dyer
Wood Nugent
