BURY's player-boss Andy Preece could add to his former side's relegation woes as Blackpool visit Gigg Lane.

The striker spent three seasons at Bloomfield Road, scoring 35 goals, before joining Bury in the summer of 1998.

He was a favourite of the Blackpool fans, and says he enjoyed his time there, but he'll put sentiment aside tomorrow as a Shakers win will bring Third Division football a step closer for the Seasiders.

Defender Marvin Bryan, who signed for Bury on transfer deadline day from Bloomfield Road this season, looks likely to start against his former club.

Bury enjoyed a five-nil thumping of Blackpool earlier in the season but are having an indifferent spell after more-or-less securing their safety with victory over Scunthorpe two weeks ago.

Two defeats followed and a 1-1 draw with bottom club Chesterfield last week has left Preece furious. He'll be demanding a better show tomorrow as the Shakers aim to finish as high up the table as possible.

Indian international Bhaichung Bhutia could make his second start of the season after looking lively against the Spireites and making history when he became the first Asian player to score in Europe.

Squad: Kenny, Barrass, C Swailes, D Swailes, Collins, Redmond, Bryan, Forrest, Souter, Willliams, Daws, Reid, Littlejohn, Preece, Barnes, Avdiu, Linighan, Bhutia.
