It’s the second of three festive fixtures between Pools and The Shaymen as Challinor’s side look to get revenge for their penalty shootout defeat in the FA Trophy last weekend.
Since then, Hartlepool beat Stockport County 4-0 at The Vic as they moved up to fifth in the National League table as they eye a third straight home win and clean sheet today.
Here is the confirmed line-up for Pools this afternoon...
