Preview

Stockport County laid down a statement in Jim McNulty's first league game last weekend, beating a well-fancied Plymouth side 3-1 at Home Park. County followed that result up with a dominant 6-3 win over Everton's youth side in the EFL Trophy.

Blackpool moved on from their Carabao Cup victory over Grimsby by playing out a 1-1 draw with Wycombe in their League One opener last time out. The Tangerines are hoping to move towards the top six this season and face a tough test on their mission on Saturday.
