Hartlepool set to be unchanged for new boss Craig Hignett
Hartlepool boss Craig Hignett could name an unchanged starting line-up for the visit of Notts County in his second game in charge.
Pools, who parted company with Ronnie Moore last week by mutual consent, made a winning start under Hignett in Saturday's 2-1 home win against Yeovil and have no new injury or suspension concerns.
Michael Duckworth, yet to feature this year, remains sidelined with a stomach muscle injury and fellow defender Harry Worley is working his way back to full fitness following ankle surgery.
Midfielder Michael Woods is expected to resume after returning to the starting XI at the weekend after a back strain.
Mawouna Amevor is a doubt for Notts County after sitting out Saturday's 2-1 defeat at York with a shoulder injury while Scot Bennett also missed the game following a knock he suffered against Luton.
Midfielder Rob Milsom remains doubtful with a knee injury and faces a fight to be fit for Jamie Fullarton's side.
Will Hayhurst, the former Preston winger, is a definite absentee with a cruciate knee ligament injury which has ruled him out for the season.
Former Wycombe winger Jason Banton is likely to continue in the side after his debut at the weekend.
