Blackpool travel to take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seasiders will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 5 of the 21 games.
The last time the two teams met at Liverpool was way back in the black-and-white days of January 1971, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a First Division match.
