Here's how our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling expects Pools to line up as they bid to return to winning ways against the Iron. What do you make of his team?

1. Goalkeeper: George Evans
Outstanding as he kept his third successive away clean sheet against Braintree, making a superb reaction save in the fourth and final minute of added time from substitute Lewis Walker. Has managed just one shutout in six home games, however, and will have his work cut out against an Iron side who have enjoyed an excellent season so far. Photo: Frank Reid

2. Right-back: Jay Benn
Hasn't been at his best of late but has started all nine National League games under Nicky Featherstone and Pools don't have a whole host of other options at right-back, with both Louis Stephenson and Campbell Darcy still relatively unproven. Photo: Frank Reid

3. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
Has been one of the most consistent and reliable performers under Featherstone, starting eight games in succession since returning from injury. Photo: Frank Reid

4. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
Didn't have his best game against Braintree and his minutes could well need to be managed over the hectic festive period, but he has been holding up well so far. Photo: Frank Reid
