Charlie Adam will continue in the Blackpool midfield against Coventry after the club rejected a bid from Middlesbrough.
Boro tried and failed with a £1.5million for the Scot, who only signed from Rangers in the summer, and he will be in the side that takes to the field at the Ricoh Arena.
"I've told Charlie about the offer," boss Ian Holloway revealed. "We have a bit of a pact that I want to get him to a club that - if I'm allowed to say it - in a much, much better situation than us. Why leave Rangers to come to Blackpool and then step sideways? Why do that when I think he can step up?
"I think he will still be here at the end of the season. It is normally after 18 months that I lose them."
Elsewhere, Jason Euell is back available after missing last weekend's 3-2 home win over Watford because of personal reasons, but strikers Stephen McPhee and Billy Clarke and defender Danny Coid are still out injured.
