Keith Curle’s side came from 2-0 down to claim a draw against Sutton United at the weekend to make it four points from six since the close of the transfer window.
And Pools will be hoping for similar success as to their last away game where Dan Dodds’ late strike gave them a 1-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers.
The two sides drew 1-1 in the reverse fixture at the Suit Direct Stadium back in September but Pools remain involved in a relegation battle in League Two.
Manager Curle may have one or two issues in defence for the trip to the Mornflake Stadium after Jamie Sterry was taken off in the draw with Sutton with an ankle problem whilst Peter Hartley continues to recover from a foot injury.
That could mean a first start for Arsenal loanee Taylor Foran as we predict our starting line-up to face Crewe:
