JOHN HUGHES sticks with the same starting XI for Hartlepool United's home game with Portsmouth, billed as a "Cup final" by the manager.
After a point at Swindon and a win over Notts County, victory tonight will see Pools move off the foot of the table, jumping over Pompey - winless in 19 and who have lost their last nine.

PORTSMOUTH: Eastwood; Cooper, Sodje, Keen, ertl, Agyemang, Wallace, Butler, Rocha, Reed, Racon. Subs: Smith, Walker, Harris, Webster, Akinde, Gyepes.
Referee: Darren Bond (Burscough)
