Here's a look at how Pools could line up on Saturday after new manager Nicky Featherstone vowed to make changes for the visit of Anstey.

2. Right-back: Louis Stephenson
Hard to see why the young defender would have been recalled from his loan spell at National League North side Buxton had manager Nicky Featherstone not planned on handing him his first Pools appearance of the campaign at the weekend. Photo: Frank Reid
3. Centre-back: Campbell Darcy
Like Louis Stephenson, the teenager was recalled from a successful stint with Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit Hebburn Town and could be set for his first ever competitive start in Pools colours. Photo: Frank Reid
4. Centre-back: Maxim Kouogun
With the influential Reiss McNally still sidelined and skipper Tom Parkes likely to be rested, Nicky Featherstone will have to decide between Maxim Kouogun and Cameron John in the heart of the Pools defence, with the Irishman's size and aerial prowess perhaps making him the favoured option.
