Pools are looking to make it nine wins in a row at Victoria Park as they face an Eastleigh side who were the last team to beat them in the league.
Dave Challinor's side have put together a six match unbeaten run since that defeat at the Silverlake Stadium which included a 1-1 draw at Altrincham on Tuesday night.
Jamie Sterry missed that match but is back in contention this afternoon. We could potentially see Jake Cooper handed an opportunity with Ryan Johnson a doubt and Lewis Cass suspended.
Joe Grey, Ryan Donaldson and Luke Williams are also ruled out.
Here is the Pools confirmed line-up for this afternoon...
