Keith Curle was able to bring in five new signings on transfer deadline day with all in contention to make their debut at the Eco-Power Stadium.
Curle, and his 11 new January recruits, have 18 games to ensure Hartlepool's League Two status.
Pools earned their first league win of the season in the reverse fixture back in October and here is how we predict they will line-up:
