Pools fought to a narrow 2-1 win over Eastleigh on Tuesday night and will be hoping to back that up with another three points on the south coast today.
As the only National League game taking place, Hartlepool have the chance to climb up to 11th with a victory and suddenly back into play-off contention.
Challinor has several injury and suspension issues to combat ahead of the game while also seeing if new signing Aidan Keena’s international clearance comes through in time for him to be available for selection. Scroll down and click through the pages to see Pools’ line-up for the match...

3. RB - Peter Kioso
Returned to the right back position and put in another impressive display against Eastleigh. Will keep his place, just a matter of whether Challinor decides to play him centrally or as a full-back. Photo: COPYRIGHT (C) FRANK REID 20187

Started the last two matches after a brief spell out of the side. Expected to keep his place. Photo: Mark Fletcher
