Team news

Stockport Jim Gannon must decide whether to make changes. Ash Palmer should figure again after a hip injury.

Hartlepool Craig Hignett has no new injury concerns. Fraser Kerr is in line to feature again after a foot injury. Myles Anderson (concussion), Luke Molyneux (foot) and Luke Williams (knee) are still sidelined.

Match preview

Stockport broke their five-match losing run with a 0-0 draw against Sutton at the weekend but they could struggle to pick up points when they host Hartlepool.

The goal drought continues for County, who have drawn a blank in their last four and have tumbled down the table to just three points above the drop zone.

Hartlepool earned a big win against Yeovil on Saturday and look well equipped to take three points at Edgeley Park.

Key stat

Hartlepool have lost just one of their last six away matches.
