1. GK: Ben Killip
The Pools number one is the only real choice between the sticks at the moment despite not playing a competitive match since April due to a serious elbow injury. Will be back in action this weekend. Photo: Bernadette Malcolmson
2. LWB: David Ferguson
Assisted more goals than any other player at Pools last season. Will be hoping to be as effective in the Football League. Photo: Bernadette Malcolmson
3. CB: Timi Odusina
It will be interesting to see if Challinor stays loyal to selecting Odusina following the young defender's outstanding displays in the play-offs. Photo: Bernadette Malcolmson
4. CB: Gary Liddle
Hasn't lost a home match for Pools since March 2020. Will be hoping to continue that fine record today. Photo: Bernadette Malcolmson
