But the Seasiders still remain without a host of other names, with Liam Bridcutt joining Jordan Gabriel, Kevin Stewart, Lewis Fiorini, Keshi Anderson and Jake Beesley on the sidelines.
Shayne Lavery, meanwhile, will serve the third and final game of his ban.
With that in mind, we take a stab at how we think the Seasiders might line up against the Sky Blues on Saturday...
1. GK - Chris Maxwell
Maxi is likely to keep hold of the number one jersey in the knowledge Dan Grimshaw is still waiting in the wings. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
2. RB - Callum Connolly
Required to continue at full-back in the absence of Jordan Gabriel. Worth noting he's only one booking away from a one-game ban. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. CB - Marvin Ekpiteta
The skipper will be desperate to bounce back from last weekend's shaky display against Preston. Photo: CameraSport - Stephen White
4. CB - Jordan Thorniley
As long as he's match fit, you'd imagine he'd retain his place in the centre of defence despite hobbling off with a knock last week. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
5. LB - James Husband
In a similar boat to Thorniley where he should retain his place unless there's any doubts over his fitness. Otherwise Dom Thompson could return. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. CM - Charlie Patino
Should be brimming with confidence after his goal and assist in the derby. Expect him to be serenaded all afternoon. Photo: CameraSport - Stephen White
