Pools go into today’s match 14 games unbeaten in the National League and sitting top of the table.
They are without Ben Killip (elbow), Ryan Johnson (knee) and Joe Grey (back) for today’s game but Rhys Oates is expected to be back available for selection after missing last Saturday’s 2-0 win over Notts County at Victoria Park. New signing Danny Elliott could also come into the squad.
Here is the predicted Pools line-up for today’s match...
