Strikers Mika Ndjoli and Josh Umerah are doubts. Nicky Featherstone is definitely out. Olly Lee and Cheye Alexander were among those not involved last weekend, but should be back for Tuesday's game. Dom Jefferies wasn’t risked after only just coming back from injury and new signing Robbie McKenzie wasn’t quite up to speed after his return to the club. Striker Mandron has scored just once this season.
Hartlepool have won one of their last five home games. Gillingham have lost three of their last five away games. The last two games at Hartlepool have ended in a draw, with Hartlepool winning the two before that. 22nd vs 23rd, and whoever loses will be in relegation zone come 5pm. 1:0
