Blackpool host City of Swansea at Bloomfield Road in EFL . Championship on Saturday, with both sides having a rough start to the season.
Blackpool are currently 13th in the standings, winning one and losing one match so far. MIchael Appleton’s side will enter the match after being beaten by Barrow in the EFL Cup and will look to bounce back with a win over Swansea on Saturday.
On the other hand, Swansea are currently 22nd in the table, yet to get their first win of the season. Russell Martin’s side were also knocked out of the EFL Cup at the hands of Oxford United midweek and hope to start their season with a win over Blackpool on Saturday.
Both sides want to win the game to climb the board and that should make for an interesting matchup.
