Leicester City pack their bags to visit Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 10 of the 45 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was within the last three years, in February 2008, the Seasiders carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
