League Two Weekend Preview

If Hartlepool extend their 17-game unbeaten run then they will stay top.

Pools travel to struggling Boston, but Walsall are determined to close the three point gap as they host Barnet.

Torquay will be hoping a change of chairman results in an improvement in form as the bottom-of-the table Gulls host Darlington, whilst second-from-bottom Wrexham play Shrewsbury Town in the only fixture on Sunday.

Stockport can make history on Saturday as a ninth win and clean sheet in succession would give them a Football League record.

Accrington skipper Peter Cavanagh (knee) returns along with defender Danny Ventre.
