Carlisle United v Hartlepool United STARTING XI: Graeme Lee names his starting line-up as Pools look to bounce back from Bristol Rovers defeat

Pools have had just three days to wait for a chance to rectify Saturday’s late defeat at Bristol Rovers with Graeme Lee confident his side can turn around their struggling away form.

Pools have taken just four points on their travels so far this season and come up against a Carlisle side who are unbeaten in their last four league games.

Gavan Holohan was the hero when the two sides met in the reverse fixture at the Suit Direct Stadium as Pools ran out 2-1 winners.

And the Irishman starts in the Pools midfield tonight with Lee making just one change to his starting XI who suffered late defeat at the Memorial Stadium.

Jamie Sterry misses out following his red card at the weekend while new signing Marcus Carver earns his second successive start since joining from Southport.
