Here’s a look at how Pools could line up for the trip to the Gateshead International Stadium:
9. Attacking-midfield: Callum Cooke
Phillips could be tempted to give Cooke a rest, with Chay Cooper waiting in the wings, but the midfielder will be determined to get back to his best if the Pools boss keeps faith with him. Photo: Mark Fletcher
10. Right-midfield: Joe Grey
A no-brainer, although Grey could line up pretty much anywhere along the front line. The 20-year-old is just one goal away from reaching double figures for the first time in his career and would no doubt love to bring up that milestone on Tuesday. Photo: Frank Reid
11. Striker: Mani Dieseruvwe
Looking to end a comparatively barren run having not found the net in four matches, Dieseruvwe will lead the line again against a Gateshead side that do tend to give up chances. Photo: Frank Reid
