After seeing off Brackley and Yeovil Town, Pool will make the journey down to St. James’ Park to face an Exeter side currently competing for promotion from the fourth tier.
Pools go into the game four games unbeaten under new manager Dave Challinor. Last time out they thrashed Chesterfield 5-1 at the Proact Stadium thanks to braces from Gus Mafuta and Gime Toure as well as another from in-form forward Luke James.

The expected 'like for like' swap for the injured Peter Kioso. Could get his first start under Dave Challinor unless the Pools boss decides to change formation at St. James' Park. | JPIMedia Resell Photo: Frank Reid
