Reading vice captain Tom Holmes has been deemed fit enough for the bench in what could be his final appearance for his boyhood club.

The 24-year-old spent 15 years with the club, making over 130 appearances, but joined Premier League Luton Town in January.

Injured since February, there were concerns over his fitness as Blackpool visit on the final day.

The centre-back makes the bench, along with fellow youth products Michael Craig and Mamadi Camara.

The starting side has one change, with Joel Pereira behind a defence of Clinton Mola; Tyler Bindon; Amadou Mbengue and Jeriel Dorsett.

Kelvin Abrefa, who started last week, drops to the bench.

Lewis Wing captains the Royals in the absence of Andy Yiadom, with Harvey Knibbs and Ben Elliott joining him.

Femi Azeez; Sam Smith and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan lead the line.

Blackpool top scorer Jordan Rhodes misses out with injury.
