Blackpool’s current form can be summarised in one word - awful. They have lost four of the last five and are without a league win since they beat Liverpool back on January 12, some seven games ago. They certainly have come close, losing by a single goal against West Brom, Sunderland and Manchester United.
The Seasiders sit two points above the relegation zone and do have a game in hand on the teams around them, which makes every home game a valuable commodity in the quest to stay in the top flight for another year.
The meetings between these teams are rare in recent years, with the last meeting being in the League Cup in October 2007. The last time they met in the league was in the old Second Division in 1977-78 when Spurs won at Bloomfield Road and drew in London.
