Brad Halliday remains sidelined with a back problem, while Doncaster are without four first-team players due to Covid-19 problems.
Match Facts
Blackpool are undefeated in 18 of their last 20 matches (League One).
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Blackpool's last 3 home games (League One).
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Doncaster's last 3 away games (League One).
Blackpool's victory at Northampton on Saturday all-but guaranteed their playoff place, although one point from their two remaining matches will mathematically secure their top-six spot. Three points here would also ensure the Seasiders cannot finish lower than fifth, which would set up a semi-final date with either Sunderland or Lincoln later this month.
Despite a disappointing end to the campaign in recent months, four points from their previous two matches have given Doncaster every chance of ending the season inside the top-10. But Donny could still finish as low as 14th, which wouldn't be a fair reflection of the good work they've put in this term.
Blackpool 2 - 1 Doncaster

Posting from work, I've just had a text message from the internet provider to say my internet connection at home is down. Some roblem on the network which won't be repaired until Friday morning.
No match for me tonight.
Learning to read clusters is not something your eyes do naturally. It takes constant practice.
Blackpool need just a single point from Tuesday night’s match with Doncaster Rovers to secure a place in the play-offs.
A convincing 3-0 victory at Northampton Town on Saturday put the Seasiders in a commanding position with two matches to go. Neil Critchley’s side sit in fifth place in the Sky Bet League One table — three points clear of seventh, with a game in hand over many opponents.
A victory over Doncaster could send Blackpool up to third in the table heading into the final day of the season, depending on how fourth-placed Lincoln fair at Charlton Athletic on Tuesday.
Tuesday night’s visitors sit in 12th position in the table, despite their flying start to the campaign. Now under the guidance of player/manager Andy Butler after Darren Moore’s departure to Sheffield Wednesday in the New Year, Donny could finish as high as eighth if they win their final two matches.
Team News:
Keshi Anderson made a return to action on Saturday, coming on as a late second half substitute at Sixfields. Grant Ward and Sullay Kaikai continue to be monitored.
Last Time We Met:
Doncaster secured a dramatic comeback victory over Blackpool in the reverse fixture back in November. The Seasiders were 2-0 up in the first half at the Keepmoat Stadium, before a second half fightback ensured Donny took all three points in a 3-2 win.
The Key Player: Fejiri Okenabirhie
24-year-old Fejiri Okenabirhie is Doncaster’s top scorer so far this season, having found the back of the net 13 times.
The striker joined the Club on a two-and-a-half-year deal in January 2020 for an undisclosed fee from Shrewsbury Town.
Neil Critchley:
"We certainly don’t want to take our foot off the pedal at the moment, and that was the message to the players in the dressing room after the Northampton game."

Rovers will be looking to make it three away league games unbeaten when they travel to face Blackpool on Tuesday night.
Andy Butler’s side beat Rochdale 2-1 last time out, thanks to a double from Brighton & Hove Albion loanee Taylor Richards.
Blackpool’s recent form
The Seasiders have lost two of their past six league outings, stretching back to a goalless draw at home to Accrington Stanley on April 13. They beat Sunderland at Bloomfield Road four days later, before a narrow defeat on the road at Rochdale was followed by a 1-0 loss at home to Shrewsbury Town.
They got back to winning ways by completing a league double over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, and then comfortably beat Northampton Town 3-0 in their last league game.
The man in charge
Former Liverpool U23s head coach Neil Critchley was appointed as Blackpool manager in March 2020, just before the season was curtailed. Since taking over, Critchley has been in charge of 55 games, winning 24, drawing 17 and losing 14, giving him an overall win percentage of 43.6%.
Ones to watch
Luke Garbutt
A product of the Everton Academy, Garbutt made a handful of appearances for the Toffees but spent the majority of his time at Goodison Park out on loan in the EFL. The left-back has enjoyed spells with Cheltenham Town, Fulham, Oxford United and Ipswich Town, before joining Blackpool on a permanent deal last summer.
The 27-year-old has featured 34 times for the Seasiders this season, scoring four goals.
Sullay Kaikai
After coming through the system at Premier League side Crystal Palace, Kaikai has spent time on loan with several clubs in the EFL, building up his experience as a lively wide player. He spent time with Cambridge United, Shrewsbury Town, Brentford and Charlton Athletic, before making a permanent move to Blackpool in the summer of 2020. He has scored seven goals so far this season.
Jerry Yates
The 24-year-old striker arrived at Blackpool in the summer from Rotherham United having impressed while on loan at Swindon Town last season. Yates scored more than 20 goals for the Robins, helping them to the Sky Bet League Two title in the process.
The Seasiders secured his signature and handed him the No.9 shirt, and he has showed the step up to Sky Bet League One has been a relatively smooth one, with 22 goals to his name so far this season.
Last time out
Rovers came from 2-0 down to beat Blackpool 3-2 when the teams last met in Sky Bet League One back in November. A penalty from Jerry Yates along with a CJ Hamilton put the Seasiders 2-0 up at the break, before Rovers drew level through goals from Cameron John and Reece James. Ben Whiteman struck the winner from the spot 14 minutes from time at the Keepmoat Stadium.
