Hartlepool look to start another unbeaten run against Stanley when they travel to the Vic.Hartlepool could seal promotion with a win and MK Dons lose

Hartlepool will be looking to overcome Saturdays defeat when Accrington come to town. A near sell out is expected at the Vic to watch the game an get behind the team as Victory to day and a defeat for MK Dons will put Pools 12 points a head and with only 4 games left Pools will be all but promoted.

Accrington Stanley are still fighting for the lifes but after a win against Peterbrough on Saturday they moved 5 points clear of the relegation zone.

This may be a bit trivial but Accrington have won in Hartlepool since 1955 but they havent played here since 1961 when they were beaten 2-1 in the FA Cup. The last time the two sides met was at Accrington and Pools won the game 2-1 with a super strike from Ritchie Humphreys in the 90th minute of the game.

Danny Wilson is expecting to have Sweeney, Barron and Clark back after the all missed the trip to Barnet and Joel Porter and Willie Boland are expected to keep their places in the squad
