Latest Score: Albion 2 Blackpool 0MATCH UPDATES
34: Mazy run from Matt Phillips but his finish from the edge of the area drags wide.
30: Another quick short corner creates problems for Blackpool. This time Orlandi rolls the ball into the path of David Lopez whose drilled effort is beaten away by Gilks.
23:GOAL! The play-off dreams are slowly becoming a reality for Albion as they double their lead. Andrea Orlandi picks out Dean Hammond at the back post who heads the ball back across the face of the goal for Matthew Upson to tap in his first goal for the club. Excellent start for Gus Poyet's side.
09:GOAL! Magnificent goal by Buckley, a contender for goal of the season. The winger is played down the right by Ashley Barnes and Buckley cuts inside onto his so called weaker left foot before curling a beautiful strike in off the bar.
02: Early strike from Albion as Will Buckley, on his return from injury, forces Matt Gilks down low to his left to make a comfortable save.
01: Underway here at the Amex.TEAM NEWS
Gus Poyet makes two changes to the side that drew 0-0 at Peterborough United on Tuesday night, as Ashley Barnes and Will Buckley return to the starting line-up.
Barnes has missed the last seven games after being sent off against Bolton Wanderers last month and is cast straight into the starting line-up; Leonardo Ulloa is rested and drops to the bench.
Buckley has recovered from a hamstring injury and returns at the expense of Andrew Crofts, who also drops to the bench.
Blackpool remain unchanged from the side that drew 0-0 with Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night.
The only change comes on the bench as Nathan Eccleston replaces Elliot Grandin.*
