Here's how our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling thinks Pools could line up as Nicky Featherstone's side look to leapfrog one of their direct play-off rivals in the National League table.

2. Right-back: Jay Benn
Excellent of late and was probably the only Pools outfielder to emerge with any real credit from Tuesday night's defeat to Sutton. Began his professional career with Halifax and made 12 appearances in West Yorkshire. Photo: Frank Reid

3. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
The Irishman has started all of the last 20 National League games, establishing himself as an integral part of Nicky Featherstone's side. Photo: Frank Reid

4. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
The Pools skipper will have to be at his best to keep the in-form Will Harris quiet. Since missing a penalty against Pools in November, the 25-year-old has scored a remarkable 17 goals in 19 games. Photo: Frank Reid
