Will Joe Grey start as Graeme Lee is set to make changes when Hartlepool United face Sutton United at the Suit Direct Stadium

Graeme Lee’s side sealed their third straight win with Tuesday’s narrow victory over high-flying Tranmere Rovers when David Ferguson’s freekick was headed into his own goal by Peter Clarke.

And Pools will be hoping for similar this weekend when they take on another promotion chasing team in Sutton.

The U’s are enjoying a memorable season on the back of last season’s National League winning campaign.

Matt Gray’s side are fifth in the League Two table just three points adrift of an automatic promotion spot.

Sutton got the better of Pools in the reverse fixture back in September thanks to Ben Goodliffe's goal but Lee’s side are now looking for a fourth straight win this weekend.

But just how will Pools line-up? We predict our starting XI including whether Joe Grey will feature with just one change from the team who beat Tranmere.
