Pools boss could stick
Hartlepool first-team coach Mick Wadsworth could name an unchanged side for the visit of MK Dons.
Wadsworth made two attacking changes against high-flying Charlton in midweek, with James Brown partnering on-loan forward Ryan Donaldson, and they impressed in the 2-1 victory.
However, Brown has struggled with knee problems throughout this season and his fitness will be assessed.
Colin Larkin, Leon McSweeney and utility-man Ritchie Humphreys will press for starting places after appearing as substitutes in the last two matches.
Steve Haslam is set to retain his place in the starting line-up as he continues to fill in at right-back for Neil Austin, who will miss his fourth successive game with a calf injury and is expected to be out for another two weeks.
