Pools made sure they’d be playing in the fifth tier again next season thanks to a 2-0 win over play-off chasing Aldershot, who dropped out of the top seven after defeat in the North East.
Kevin Phillips and his side will make the long trip to Berkshire full of confidence after taking seven points from the last nine available.
The boss stressed the importance of a strong end to the season and will know that Pools cannot afford to take 17th placed Maidenhead lightly, with the Magpies also unbeaten in three and needing another win to be certain of avoiding relegation to the National League South.
Phillips once again finds himself with almost as many injuries as available options, with Courtney Duffus and Manny Onariase the latest pair ruled out last week.
However, he could well look to utilise Campbell Darcy, Alfie Steel and Max Storey after the academy trio featured in the squad on Saturday.
Here’s a look at how Pools could line up:
5. Louis Stephenson
Pools have only conceded two goals in the four games since Stephenson returned to the side, although the teenage full-back could be in for a stern test against Maidenhead's in-form left-winger Reece Smith. Photo: Mark Fletcher
6. Central-midfield: Nicky Featherstone

7. Central-midfield: Tom Crawford
Did well in a slightly more advanced role on Saturday but could return to a deeper position in midweek. The 24-year-old has been booked 12 times this season, including in the last two games. Photo: Mark Fletcher
8. Left-midfield: Alfie Steel
The teenager made a brief cameo from the bench in the win over Aldershot and could come in from the start in midweek. It might seem like a lot to ask of the teenager, but Pools have rotated between the likes of Terrell Agyemang, Courtney Duffus and Chay Cooper on the left and Steel certainly looks to have the physical attributes to do well, standing over six feet tall. It might not be his favoured position, but with Pools safe from relegation and Phillips limited in terms of his options for freshening things up, it could turn into a special night for the youngster.
