Hartlepool United go in search of back-to-back victories when they travel to face Grimsby Town.

Pools boosted their survival hopes with a dramatic win over Swindon Town and head into the Easter programme just two points from safety.

John Askey’s side could claim back-to-back wins in the league for only the second time this season were they to achieve three points at Blundell Park – something which would also see them claim a double over the Mariners this season having won the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Suit Direct Stadium.

The Mariners have enjoyed a positive return to the Football League, including a memorable FA Cup run, and will pose another challenge for Askey and his players.

Askey may have a decision to make in attack after leading goal scorer Josh Umerah missed the club’s open training session in midweek.

The striker has scored just one in his last 10 appearances.
