Hartlepool United predicted XI photo gallery: Selection dilemmas with striker return and injury concerns ahead of Chesterfield clash

It’s a quick turnaround for Hartlepool United as they head to Chesterfield on Bank Holiday Monday looking to retain top spot in the National League.

Hartlepool became the early front runners in the National League after their 3-1 success over AFC Fylde on Saturday tea-time thanks to goals from Emmanuel Dieseruvwe and Callum Cooke.

And Pools will now head to the home of the pre-season favourites, Chesterfield, looking for a fifth straight win in the league.

John Askey will face some selection dilemmas, however, with less than 48-hours since that win over Fylde at the Suit Direct Stadium.

Chris Wreh went off with a tight hamstring while both Charlie Seaman and Dan Dodds picked up knocks in Saturday’s win – Askey suggesting Dodds might struggle to make Monday’s clash as a result.

Pools will, however, have striker Josh Umerah available after serving his three-match ban.

And here we predict our starting XI to face Chesterfield.
