Ben Clark returns for the Reserves this afternoon after serving a suspension for his sending-off against Middlesbrough last month.

The defender is partnered at the back by Frenchman Julian Cherel who has shaken off the slight hip problem which kept him out of the Reserves' last game.

Denis Behan is starting in attack and will be alongside Armann Bjornsson, while Jon-Andre Fredriksen and Michael Mackay will provide the ammunition from the flanks.

The game at the Don Valley Stadium kicks-off at 2pm and we'll have a full report on the game here on the Official Website later this afternoon.

Pools: Cook, McSweeney, Clark, Cherel, Haslam, Mackay, Rowell, Power, Fredriksen, Behan, Bjornsson.
Subs: Herbert, Marron, C Liddle, Martin, Greulich.
