Pools will be looking to bounce back from Saturday’s 5-0 defeat at Leyton Orient under the new temporary charge of Antony Sweeney.

They will have to beat the Toffees youngsters either in normal time or on penalties in order to get through the group stages.

They are without Tyler Burey (hamstring) and Fela Olomola (ankle) and Jordan Cook (groin) while Jamie Sterry remains a doubt.
