Hartlepool United predicted XI photo gallery: Arsenal loanee and ex-Birmingham City winger in contention to face Stevenage

Hartlepool United head into their second Easter fixture looking to continue their momentum following an emphatic win over Grimsby Town.

John Askey’s side claimed back-to-back wins when sealing a 4-1 win over the Mariners on Good Friday inspired by Dan Kemp’s hat-trick.

Pools scored three times in eight minutes in the second half to take the game away from Grimsby and move level on points with Crawley Town.

Wes McDonald made another strong contribution coming off the bench in the second half, winning a penalty before then assisting Kemp for his third of the game as he continues to push for a starting spot.

Askey could be forced into a change should Jamie Sterry struggle to overcome a groin problem whilst the situation with midfielder Mohamad Sylla remains uncertain with the Frenchman not in the right state mentally to feature against Grimsby.
