    Blackpool travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in the Seasiders last Championship game.

    Blackpool lost their Championship status as they lost in a 3-2 goal thriller against Millwall last week.

    The relegation broke the Seasiders hearts as the hopes of survival have now been put to an end.

    The Tangerines will be hoping to finish the season on a high as a win could see them build on this result next season. 

    The last time the sides met it ended 1-0 to Norwich with Teemu Pukki scoring the winner.

    Norwich had their Championship status secured as they lost 2-1 to West Brom which prevented them from being in reach of the play-offs.

    The Canaries sit 12th whilst the Pool sit 23rd.

    Norwich's Josh Sargent and Teemu Pukki have a combined of 23 goals between them and are ones to watch out for in the game.

    Norwich have won the last three games against Blackpool scoring eight and conceding one.

    This is the first time the sides have met in the league at Carrow Road since 2015 where the Pool lost 4-0.

    Norwich haven’t won their last game of the season for the past three years drawing one and losing two with two of the defeats ending in 5-0 defeats.

    Blackpool have not won away on the final day, drawing two and losing four ,since beating Swansea in the  2008-09 season. 

    The Seasiders will be hoping to finish their final game of the season on a high.
