The two teams go head-to-head at Hayes Lane on Saturday evening (K.O. 5.45pm).

Andy Woodman’s side currently sit third in the National League table, while the Seasiders are eighth in League One.

Here is our predicted Blackpool XI and bench:

Richard O'Donnell has been Blackpool's cup keeper so far this season. The 35-year-old has looked solid between the sticks on his previous outings, and will deserve an opportunity against Bromley. It will also be a good opportunity to provide Dan Grimshaw with a rest. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns)

Callum Connolly could return to the starting line-up for the trip to Bromley. The versatile defender has featured from the bench in the last couple of games. He has already produced some solid displays this season, and will be hoping for another one in Greater London. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns)

Marvin Ekpiteta could feature in back-to-back games for the first time in a while. The defender came into the starting 11 for the suspended Olly Casey in the midweek game against Fleetwood.His display at Highbury was hit and miss. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

This weekend's match could provide Doug Tharme with some match action. Game time has been limited for the defender, who has spent most of his time out on loan since making the move to Bloomfield Road from Southport. With a couple of cup fixtures already under his belt this season, this could be another opportunity for him to impress. (Photo: CameraSport -)
Match action has been scarce for Andy Lyons in the last couple of months. He last started in the EFL Trophy game against Liverpool U21s, where he was among the scorers at Bloomfield Road. (Photo: CameraSport -)

Jensen Weir has struggled for game time in recent weeks, with Neil Critchley preferring other options in the midfield. The Bromley game could be a good opportunity for the Brighton & Hove Albion loanee to really prove himself in Tangerine. (Photo: CameraSport -)

Kenny Dougall has put in some fantastic displays in recent weeks. The midfielder is a key component for the Seasiders so you would expect him to retain his place. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

Like a number of others, Albie Morgan could use this match as an opportunity to stake his place in the starting 11. The summer arrival has mainly been used as a sub in recent months. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

Dominic Thompson has been involved on a more regular basis for the Seasiders in recent weeks. The wing-back is certainly a threat going forward, and could cause Bromley trouble in the wide areas. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

Karamoko Dembele could play just behind the striker for this weekend's game. The former Celtic wonderkid has been very impressive for the Seasiders in the last few weeks. In the midweek draw against Fleetwood Town, he made a positive impact from the bench. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

Shayne Lavery has found some scoring form in the last few weeks. He found the back of the net at Highbury on Wednesday night, and deserves a recall to the starting XI. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

Mackenzie Chapman could be handed an opportunity on the bench if Richard O'Donnell starts against Bromley. The young keeper has only featured in development squad games so far this season. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns)

Tashan Oakley-Boothe has started in the last two games for Blackpool, but could drop onto the bench this weekend.He hasn't really shown the best of himself since making the move to Bloomfield Road, and will be determined to have a positive impact if he's involved in this game.

Either Jordan Rhodes or Kylian Kouassi could be given a rest for this weekend's game. The Huddersfield loanee has been in great form since joining the Seasiders, and has been crucial in the majority of games so far this season. (Photo: CameraSport - Lee Parker)

After being involved quite a bit in the early stages of the season, Jake Beesley hasn't featured regularly in the last couple of months. The FA Cup could present with him an opportunity to pick up some minutes. (Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Kearns)
