The Seasiders will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 midweek defeat to Leyton Orient, which leaves them six points off the play-off places, with more games under their belt than some of the teams ahead of them.
Prior to the loss at Brisbane Road, they had won back-to-back games in League One, overcoming both Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers. Neil Critchley will be hoping to receive some injury boosts as his side head on the road once again.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench to take on Shrewsbury:
