Preston North End have the chance to reach a cup final on Monday evening at the expense of dear rivals Blackpool when they travel to Deepdale for the Lancashire FA Youth Cup semi-final (7pm).

Nathan Fairhurst will skipper the side as they look to avenge a double league reverse at the hands of the Tangerines this campaign, with Jack Cudworth given a chance to shine between the sticks and Tom Smyth given the nod at centre half as he continues to grow into his new position.

Access to the game will be via turnstiles five to seven in the Sir Tom Finney Stand, with admission prices set at £4 for adults and £2 for concessions.

PNE: Cudworth, Aspin, Shearwood, Appiah, Smyth, Collins, Mayor, Fairhurst (capt), Higgins, Mainwaring, McMahon. Subs: Rogers, Thompson, Adam Barton, Bloxam, McCarthy.

Blackpool: Halstead, Lloyd, Ralston, Penswick, Bayliss (capt), Laird, McKenna, Warburton, Merella, Hobbs, Smith. Subs: Eastham, Fishwick, Newsham, Forshaw, Almond.
