Our pre-match preview

With no reliable form data for either side, this looks set to be a tight, cagey cup tie where neither team is likely to dominate possession for long periods. Expect set pieces and transitions to decide how the game shapes up.

The key battle will be between Hornchurch's home energy in midfield and Blackpool's ability to keep the ball and control the tempo. Whoever wins the middle third will likely determine how many chances each side creates.
