Danny Wilson has made three changes to his starting eleven for this afternoon's game at Brighton.

Gary Liddle returns from injury to take his spot in the centre of midfield alongside Willie Boland.

Liddle replaces Jamie McCunnie in the eleven, with the Scotsman dropping to the bench and Antony Sweeney dropping back to right back.

With Wilson reverting back to 4-4-2, James Brown will play on the right wing, with Andy Monkhouse on the left, Michael Mackay has been drafted in to partner Joel Porter in attack.

Ritchie Humphreys returns to the left back spot, with Robbie Elliott named amongst the subs - as is Matty Robson.

Although the game has come too soon for Richard Barker, Sam Collins has recovered in time to take his place on the bench.

Pools: Lee-Barrett, Sweeney, Nelson, Clark, Humphreys, Brown, Boland, Liddle, Monkhouse, Mackay, Porter
