Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has the luxury of picking from a near full-strength squad for Saturday's clash with Coventry at Bloomfield Road.Keith Southern recently had an operation on an ankle ligament injury and faces around two months on the sidelines.

But Grayson should have no injury concerns as his side seek to avoid a third successive home defeat.

The Seasiders have lost their last two Championship outings at Bloomfield Road, against Cardiff and Stoke respectively.

And Grayson knows another failure to collect any points against the Sky Blues would plunge his side back into relegation trouble.

"It is a big game against Coventry," he said. "But only because if we lose it will make it three home defeats on the trot and we haven't had that stat for a long time."
