Blackpool journey to play Sheffield Wednesday in a League One game this Sunday, which is also their official Remembrance Day event. The contest at Hillsborough begins in the afternoon, with gates opening earlier. Blackpool currently sit 20th in the table with 11 points from 11 games, having recorded three wins and two draws.
Their recent performances have been mixed, featuring a 3-2 win against Aston Villa's under-21 side on Tuesday 27 October alongside losses to other teams. Their form over the last five league games shows two wins and three losses, with recent results including a 1-4 home defeat to Mansfield Town on Saturday 24 October and a 2-0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons on Tuesday 20 October. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 20 this season.
Team News
Sheffield Wednesday are currently under the guidance of caretaker manager Matt Hamshaw, following a drawn game in their previous outing. The search for a full-time manager continues. Both sides are expected to have no new injury concerns.
The Occasion
This Sunday's game holds extra meaning apart from the sporting contest. There will be fundraising collections for a military charity before the start. A period of silence is planned, followed by the playing of the Last Post, with several special guests in attendance.
The scheduling was adjusted to prevent a conflict with another local fixture. Blackpool were beaten in their most recent away match, while Wednesday have found home victories scarce this season. Following this game, Blackpool's next match will be at their own stadium.
