Here's how our Pools writer thinks Lennie Lawrence's side could line up on Saturday. What do you reckon?
5. Left-back: Matthew Bondswell
In line for his first Pools start. The former Nottingham Forest, RB Leipzig and Newcastle man had made just one late cameo since signing for Pools and will have his work cut out if he's to displace the in-form David Ferguson. Looked sharp when he came on against Solihull and will be desperate to state his case. Photo: Frank Reid
6. Central-midfield: Nathan Sheron
Remarkably, could be set to start his 24th consecutive game. With Dodds returning, Sheron should move into midfield to allow veteran Nicky Featherstone a well-deserved rest. Has still looked full of running in recent weeks despite the considerable workload. Photo: Frank Reid
7. Central-midfield: Jack Hunter
Will start his fourth successive game since returning from injury. Hasn't quite hit top gear yet and will need to impress if he's to cement his place in the side. Won the Trophy with Halifax in 2023. Photo: Frank Reid
8. Right-wing: Roshaun Mathurin
Hasn't featured since November 9 and has found himself down the pecking order following the arrival of Kazenga LuaLua. Even so, has shown flashes of promise and Lawrence vowed to give him a run in the side before his loan from Crystal Palace expires. With a number of wingers seemingly ahead of him, it's hard to tell when that will come and Mathurin will likely have to force his way into contention. A chance to prove a point on what would be his first start since October 19. Photo: Frank Reid
