Here's how our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling expects Pools to line up against Carlisle as Nicky Featherstone's side bid to build on Saturday's comeback win over Solihull Moors and keep in touch with the National League play-off places.
1. Goalkeeper: Nick Hayes
The 26-year-old has endured a fairly shaky start to his Pools career and has conceded 10 goals in his last four games. Will need to do a bit more if he's to nail down the number one spot beyond this season. Photo: Frank Reid
2. Right-back: Jay Benn
Despite having been heavily criticised for large parts of this season, Benn has been generally excellent of late after returning to his favoured right side following a spell filling in at right-back. Photo: Frank Reid
3. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
The Irishman has started all but one of Nicky Featherstone's 19 National League games in charge and should have an important role to play against a Carlisle front line packed full of quality and threat. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
The skipper returned to the squad after missing the defeat at York through injury and looks set to be restored to the starting XI after Nicky Featherstone revealed the influential Reiss McNally was set to be sidelined for around a month with an Achilles issue. Photo: Frank Reid
