Hartlepool United's predicted starting XI against Altrincham with two changes - gallery

Hartlepool United travel to National League rivals Altrincham on Wednesday night looking to kick-start an improved run of form.

Last weekend’s defeat at Kiddersminster Harriers means Lee Clark’s side have now lost four of their last five fixtures and will head into their midweek visit to the J. Davidson Stadium sitting in the bottom half of the National League table. The Pools boss has already discussed the system he has used during the first month of the season and appeared to hint he would not change from utilising a two-man attack.
