Pools host seventh-placed Aldershot, who arrive in the North East on a run of four games without a win and in desperate need of three points to keep themselves in the play-off places.
Kevin Phillips and his side, meanwhile, will be looking to build on a positive Easter weekend that saw them take four points from a possible six.
There was also lots to talk about off the pitch, with Pools legend Ronnie Moore returning as chief scout and chairman Raj Singh announcing his intention to take a step back from the day-to-day running of the club.
Manager Kevin Phillips and left-back David Ferguson met with the press on Friday morning to discuss another busy week – here are 10 things we learned:
5. Phillips has set his side a target of 60 points
