Adam Boyd returns to the starting eleven for Pools this afternoon for the League One clash against Leeds United at Victoria Park (3pm kick-off).

The striker will operate in attack alongside Colin Larkin, with Denis Behan having to be content with a place among the substitutes.

Leeds have shuffled their pack following the midweek FA Cup exit to Tottenham Hotspur; Shane Lowry comes in at right-back and Gary McSheffrey and Max Gradel come in on the wings.

Luciano Becchio partners Jermaine Beckford in attack for Simon Grayson's men.
