Blackpool v Stockport County: Is the game on TV? Kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Last season's League Two champions Stockport County will look to build on their opening day victory when they travel to Blackpool for their League One clash on Saturday afternoon.

The Hatters started their campaign with a 2-0 home win against Cambridge United but they will be keen to move on quickly from their 6-1 humbling at home to Blackburn Rovers in Tuesday's EFL Cup first round tie.

It is the opposite situation for Blackpool who were surprisingly beaten at Crawley last weekend but responded in style by winning their EFL Cup first round match 4-0 at Burton Albion in midweek.
