So the final home game has arrived but lets hope we have another one to play in a couple of weeks
Stats
This is the 125th competitive meeting. Burnley lead by 56 wins to 37, with 31 drawn.
The Clarets are looking for a fourth consecutive Championship victory over Blackpool.
The Seasiders' only home win against Burnley in 15 years was a 3-0 triumph in January 2008.
What the press say
sporting life
Ian Holloway's side lie fifth in the Championship, and with Middlesbrough four points adrift in seventh, victory over the Clarets would seal a play-off berth.
But Burnley have no new injury worries ahead of their trip to play-off chasing Blackpool.
Forward duo Jay Rodriguez and Martin Paterson remain on the sidelines with respective hip and hamstring problems.
Fellow attackers Danny Ings and Josh McQuoid are pressing for recalls to boss Eddie Howe's starting XI after being dropped to the bench or Tuesday night's 0-0 draw at Leicester.

Fifth-placed Blackpool are unbeaten in five, and need a win to guarantee a place in the play-offs for the second time in three seasons.
The Seasiders have this season's best record in Championship matches against Lancashire and Yorkshire clubs (including Middlesbrough); W7, D3, L1, 24 points.
Ian Holloway's side and Ipswich are the only clubs to have scored in every home match in this division in 2012
Burnley are unbeaten in four games (W2, D2), and could draw three in a row for the first time this season.
The Clarets have the second best record in Championship matches this term against Lancashire and Yorkshire clubs; W7, D0, L4, 21 points.
This is Burnley's second season since relegation from the Premier League, and they already know they will not beat last season's total of 68 points, when they finished eighth.
