Man Utd test is mission impossible for Blackpool says Holloway

Blackpool go into the final game of the Premier League season with a 'mission impossible' in front of them says manager Ian Holloway.

The Seasiders need at least a point, but preferably a win to stay up, when they take on champions Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Holloway knows that taking on Sir Alex Ferguson's men, who have not lost at home all season, will be a very tough ask and rubbished claims that Fergie will field a weakened team.

"I think that's absolute nonsense. Why do we need a statement in any paper saying that Man Utd might be fined if they lose to Blackpool? I take that a bit personally," he said.

"Yeah, we have got to do the impossible. As Fairground Attraction said: 'It's got to be perfect'.

"We will have to play well, we know we will. No-one else has beat them this year, but they have dropped two points so let's see. What an exciting and wonderful day."
