Here's how our Hartlepool United writer Robbie Stelling expects Pools to line up against Gateshead as they look to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since November.
1. Goalkeeper: Nick Hayes
Hardly put a foot wrong on his debut, keeping his first Pools clean sheet against Altrincham on Saturday. Photo: Frank Reid
2. Right-back: Reiss McNally
Didn't look totally comfortable in an unfamiliar full-back role against Altrincham but did a decent enough job. Could also be shifted across into the heart of defence to give Tom Parkes, who has struggled to play twice in a week at times this season, but the skipper's impressive performance at the weekend means he looks likely to continue.

3. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
Didn't have one of his best games at the weekend but has nonetheless become an integral part of the Pools back line, starting all of the last 12 National League matches. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Centre-back: Tom Parkes
Although the skipper has, at times, found it difficult to get through two games in a week this season, the continued absence of the suspended Cameron John means he's likely to line up in the heart of the Pools defence, providing he's physically able to, once more. Photo: Frank Reid
