Here's how our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling expects Pools to line up as they look to make it three wins on the spin against strugglers Sutton in midweek.
1. Goalkeeper: Nick Hayes
The 26-year-old, who is without a clean sheet in any of his last five games, still looks a bit uncertain as he continues to settle into life at Pools but produced a couple of decent saves against rivals Carlisle last week. Photo: Frank Reid

2. Right-back: Jay Benn
Was absolutely outstanding against Carlisle on Wednesday evening, earning himself a well-deserved place in the National League team of the week. Will likely be tasked with keeping former Pools winger Jermaine Francis quiet as Nicky Featherstone's side bid to record three successive wins for the first time since August. Photo: Frank Reid

3. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
Rock solid against Carlisle and has started all of the last 19 National League matches. Photo: Frank Reid

4. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
The skipper produced a typically dominant performance on his return to the side last week and looks set to continue alongside Maxim Kouogun in the heart of the Pools defence as Reiss McNally remains sidelined with an Achilles injury. Photo: Frank Reid
