Hartlepool United embark on the Emirates FA Cup at the Fourth Round Qualifying stage as Gainborough Trinity host at Northolme.

Pools enter the cup hoping to progress to the First Round Proper for the first time since 2022.

Simon Grayson’s side will look to have a change from their league form after a 2-1 loss to York City at the weekend.

Gainsborough Trinity are the opponents and the host for Pools.

Trinity sit fifth in the Northern Premier League, with the hopes of making the play-offs and reach the National League North.

They won their last outing 3-2 against Shifnal Town in the FA Trophy.
