Pools welcome the National League North outfit for caretaker manager Antony Sweeney’s first match in charge at The Vic.
The United legend led the side to a 3-0 win at Aldershot Town last Saturday and will now be looking to carry on the momentum back on home turf.
Sweeney’s team selection at Aldershot proved to be inspired with the three goalscorers, Josh Hawkes, Gavan Holohan and Nicke Kabamba, all being introduced for the match. Here is our predicted line-up for today’s big cup clash...

2. LB - Mark Kitching
Was arguably not Pools' first choice left-back at the start of the season but has taken his opportunity well to cement his place in the side. Still, Sweeney could possibly rotate things with Romoney Crichlow-Noble itching to play. Photo: FRANK REID
3. CB - Michael Raynes
Approaching 500 career matches and his experience continues to be crucial as part of an otherwise youthful Pools back line. Photo: Paul Paxford
4. RB - Peter Kioso
