Harriers are looking to build on their last away result, an impressive 0-0 draw at play-off challengers Leyton Orient two weeks ago.

A run of three undefeated games came to an end last Sunday when promotion hopefuls Cardiff City triumphed 4-2 at Aggborough.

But Harriers will have a hard task against a Blackpool side that have displayed superb form at Bloomfield Road recently, conceding no goals in five straight wins.

It certainly promises to be a strange atmosphere at the Blackpool ground which only has two stands up during a major redevelopment programme.

The big news for Harriers was the return of Danish winger Thomas Skovbjerg after a year out with a knee injury.

Skovbjerg was on the bench after a handful of reserve outings in the last few months.

Boss Jan Molby recalled midfielder Andy Ducros and striker John Durnin to the starting line-up but Adie Smith was missing with a groin strain.

Also left out of the squad was Irishman Daire Doyle.

Blackpool centre-half Brian Reid returned after a foot injury,dangerous striker Brett Ormerod had recovered from illness and midfielder Steve Bushell returned to the first eleven.

Skipper Ian Hughes, who has been struggling with injury, was dropped to sub, as was striker Walker, on loan from Aston Villa and a player who has interested Molby in the past.

Harriers were seeking revenge after an embarrassing 4-1 home defeat by Blackpool on Sky TV in late September.

Steve McMahon is an old Liverpool team-mate of Harriers' manager Molby, and the two are likely to enjoy a drink together after the game.
