Hartlepool scored a dramatic late win over Gateshead thanks to Emmanuel Dieseruvwe’s 90th minute strike, despite John Askey’s side playing most of the second half with 10 men.
Josh Umerah was sent off which means he will miss tonight’s meeting with Maidenhead United as Hartlepool go in search of back-to-back wins.
Dieseruvwe will be hoping to continue his fine form into tonight’s game but how will Umerah’s absence impact Pools?
Here we predict our starting XI which includes a slight change in formation:
9. Jake Hastie
