Hartlepool v Mansfield preview

Craig Hignett has been appointed as Hartlepool's new manager
Image: Craig Hignett: Unlikely to make changes

Hartlepool boss Craig Hignett is unlikely to make changes for the home clash with Mansfield.

Pools are unbeaten in their last six matches and have named an unchanged line-up for the last four matches.

Defender Rob Jones was back on the bench following a head injury for Monday's 2-0 win at Leyton Orient, while full-back Michael Duckworth played an hour for the reserves in midweek as he edges closer to a first-team return after hernia surgery.

Harry Worley, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury, came off in the second-string game with a knee problem which is being assessed.

Midfielder Jamie McGuire is suspended for Mansfield.

McGuire serves a one-match ban after his dismissal in the draw with Northampton, while Adi Yussuf is absent as he completes a five-game ban.

Defender Ryan Tafazolli is awaiting the results of a scan on the dead leg he suffered against Northampton.
