Pools face fifth placed Port Vale looking to end a run of four straight defeats following the midweek defeat at Swindon Town.
And Hartlepool interim manager Antony Sweeney has made two changes to the side who lost at the County Ground with Reagan Ogle and Zaine Francis-Angol dropping out for Luke Hendrie and Edward Jones who starts for the first time since the defeat at Stevenage in early October.
Former Port Vale striker Mark Cullen leads the line for Pools.
