Antony Sweeney could be without top scorer Gime Toure for the trip though Myles Anderson and Luke Williams are nearing being back in contention after returning to full training.
Pools have won their last three matches in all competitions and four of their last five overall, a record also shared by The Magpies who currently sit four points ahead in the table in the final play-off position.

1. LB - Mark Kitching
No changes expected to the Pools back line given their current run of form. Kitching continues to look solid and impress at left-back. Photo: Paul Paxford
2. CB - Michael Raynes
Will face a tough task of keeping a Notts County frontline who scored four at Woking in midweek at bay. Photo: Paul Paxford
3. CB - Fraser Kerr
Looked very solid since the switch back to four defenders. Had an excellent game last time out against Barnet. Photo: Mark Fletcher
4. RB - Peter Kioso
Continues to show maturity beyond his years with his performances. His dance moves aren't bad either! Photo: Mark Fletcher
