Pools won at home for the first time since New Year's Day as they dispatched a resurgent Boston side in empathic fashion last week. Anthony Limbrick's team will make the trip to West Yorkshire in confident mood to take on a Halifax side who are challenging for the play-offs but are in the midst of a difficult run having failed to score in any of their last three games. Halifax have 10 first team players out injured, while manager Chris Millington suggested the deteriorating pitch at The Shay was threatening to "derail" his side's impressive season. Pools have no new injury concerns as they look to string back-to-back wins together for just the second time this season. Here's a look at how they could line up.
1. Goalkeeper: Adam Smith
Has kept just one clean sheet in his last 17 appearances but might fancy his chances of improving that record against a Halifax side who haven't scored in any of their previous three outings. Photo: Frank Reid
2. Centre-back: Billy Sass-Davies
Looks to be growing in confidence after being restored to the side earlier this month and has started all of the last four matches. Photo: Frank Reid
3. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
Was outstanding at the weekend and has been his side's most consistent defender this season. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Centre-back: David Ferguson
Has been solid albeit unspectacular in a somewhat unfamiliar role and helps bring balance to the back three. Photo: Frank Reid
