Gritty Blackpool could edge hard-fought scrap with solid Sohihull Moors

FA Cup second-round replay
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Tuesday

Solihull Moors have never reached the third round of the FA Cup in their brief history and a glittering home tie against Arsenal is the reward for the winners of their replay with Blackpool.

The Tangerines are going well in Sky Bet League One but they had some nervy moments in the original tie which finished 0-0 after Solihull’s Alex Gudger had an effort ruled out for offside in the first half.

The National League team may look back and rue that missed opportunity – they are 7-2 to qualify – but their league form suggests Blackpool will have to work hard for victory.

Managed by former England keeper Tim Flowers, Moors are solid at the back, losing only one of their last 13 league fixtures.

They have kept nine clean sheets during that run, shutting out second-placed Salford and third-placed Harrogate in the last three weeks, and allowed Blackpool only four shots on target in the first game.

The Football League side have had a little blip in the past couple of weeks, losing to Doncaster and Oxford without scoring.

However, they have won four of their last five home games in the league, with clean sheets in three of those victories, and can come through a hard-fought scrap to earn a pop at the Gunners.
