Fresh from their FA Cup third round defeat at Oxford United, Pools will be looking to kick-on in the National League and take advantage of their game in hand.
Kenton Richardson is likely to miss the match after picking up an ankle injury during the match at the Kassam Stadium while Josh Hawkes remains a doubt with a potential hernia injury.
Tyler Hamilton’s loan move has been extended while Mark Shelton and Gary Liddle are available for selection once again after being cup-tied on Saturday. Scroll down and click through the pages to see our predicted line-up for tonight’s match...
1. GK - Mitchell Beeney
Been handed his chance by Challinor in the past two matches. Hasn't done an awful lot wrong but there's a chance Ben Killip could return sooner rather than later. Photo: Mark Fletcher
2. LB - Mark Kitching
No Pools player has scored more goals than Kitching over the festive period which may speak volumes though shows his attacking instincts are starting to pay off. Should keep his place after scoring at Oxford. Photo: Mark Fletcher
3. CB - Michael Raynes
Put in a solid display against Oxford on Saturday before being subbed off with the score at 2-1. Photo: Mark Fletcher
4. CB - Gary Liddle
Expected to return to the starting XI after missing out on Saturday. Photo: Mark Fletcher
