Where does Michael Appleton see the returning Keshi Anderson playing for Blackpo...

The midfielder was rated as 50/50 before kick-off after missing the midweek trip to West Brom with a sickness bug.

But the Arsenal loanee recovers in time to return to the midfield three, where he’s joined by Grant Ward, who makes his first appearance since re-signing on a free transfer.

Callum Wright and Sonny Carey are the two to drop out.
