Watford are expected to include Stephen McGinn on the bench after signing the midfielder from St Mirren.
Scott Severin is an injury doubt with a minor groin problem.
MATCH PREVIEW
Blackpool are without a win in four matches and the club has not recorded a home victory against Watford since New Year's Day 1972, when they thrashed the Hornets 5-0.
The Tangerines' home form had been the platform for an impressive season under Ian Holloway, but recent results have been a concern. Holloway's side have not won at home since beating Scunthorpe in November.
Watford have also had problems recently. Malky Mackay's team have not won in six league and cup games, and their away results have been particularly disappointing.
The last victory on their travels came at Middlesbrough in October, since which they have collected only two points from a possible 21 on the road.
