Team news

Blackpool boss Holloway looks set to name an unchanged side for the showdown at Wembley.

Holloway has named the same starting line-up for the past five matches and, with no new injury or suspension concerns to contend with, he seems certain to do so once more.

Striker Stephen McPhee and defender Danny Coid remain sidelined through injury and Hameur Bouazza is still out because of a groin problem.

Cardiff have been boosted by the return of winger Chris Burke and centre-back Anthony Gerrard ahead of the clash.

Burke (groin) missed the semi-final second leg against Leicester after limping out of the reverse fixture, while Gerrard missed both ties against the Foxes with a calf problem.

The duo may have to settle for places on the bench as manager Jones looks set to name an unchanged side.

Top scorer Whittingham is expected to shake off a groin problem and strikers Jay Bothroyd and Michael Chopra, who have been having treatment on knocks this week, will also be fit.

Nothing is official on this site without me making it official!

Im going to the match. I hope its good. Looking forward to the Wembley experience. Must try and stay sober.

You make it look so professional, then let it down without the ***'s. Let me down man!

C'mon Blackpool. Not just cos they're a north west team, but I can't wait to watch Holloway every week on motd. Just need mourinho and strachan back for the full set of great quotes.

Perfered the welsh girl, she's a real stunner. Hopefully Blackpool can keep their nerve.

-Can we have a quick word please Gordon?
-Velocity.

It's Cardiff's Match to lose, IMHO. Blackpool have done extraordinarily well to get there. 100% behind The Tangerines.

Any team that plays in Orange can't be bad - any team that has anything to do with Ridsdale is DOOMED

I fucking hate Sky's media whores. They turn a Wembley Final and a chance for a club to play in the best league in the World, into nothing more than money. 'The £90 Million Play-off', 'A Million a Minute', and the rest of the gash. I'm sure those players and fans won't be thinking like that and only the suits will be counting the dollars at this time!

Think I might go an watch this in 3d. anyone done that yet? any good?
