Over 1,000 supporters are expected to travel from the north east to the Peninsula Stadium as Pools look to pick up their first away win.

But they will be without Jordan Cook (groin), Gary Liddle (Achillies), Fela Olomola (ankle) and Tyler Burey (hamstring). Luke Molyneux (groin) is a doubt while Gavan Holohan (groin) is back in contention.

Eddy Jones is also back available following international duty with Wales under-21s.
