Hartlepool United are set to face Halifax Town at The Shay this evening – but how will Dave Challinor’s side line-up?

Pools will be looking to make it five wins on the bounce and stay second in the National League table as they face a Halifax side sitting four places and seven points behind them in sixth.

Dave Challinor’s side will be without Gary Liddle, who is still recovering from a groin injury – he is the only expected absentee.

Here is our predicted line-up for Pools this evening...
