PREDICTED XI: Will former Newcastle United defender return for Hartlepool United as they face Colchester United with Graeme Lee tipped to make two changes

Pools travel to the Jobserve Community Stadium looking to extend their unbeaten run in League Two to eight games after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sutton United.

Tom Crawford was the hero as he grabbed his first goal of the season, and just a second in Pools colours, to earn Graeme Lee’s side a point against the U’s.

Pools were without defensive duo Jamie Sterry and David Ferguson who missed out through injury and illness respectively with Lee admitting he will need to assess both players before they head to Essex.

Joe Grey also missed the game with Sutton at the Suit Direct Stadium having failed to recover from a knock picked up against Tranmere Rovers.

And Lee has hinted midfielders Bryn Morris and Joe White will also be tasked with proving their fitness ahead of tomorrow night’s clash.

And here is how we predict Pools will line-up against Colchester.
