McDonald replaces Theo Robinson in a front three for Pools alongside Josh Umerah and Jack Hamilton – who scored his first Hartlepool goal in the initial tie with Solihull, as David Ferguson continues at centre-back with Alex Lacey and Rollin Menayese still injured.

And here is how Pools line-up in full to face Solihull Moors:

Hartlepool United XI: Killip, Tumilty, Murray, Ferguson, Paterson, Featherstone (C), Sylla, Cooke, McDonald, Hamilton, Umerah

Subs: Letheren, Stephenson, Kitching, Taylor, Hastie, Oduor, Ndjoli, Grey, Robinson
