Hartlepool United have made four changes ahead of this afternoon's long trip to Sutton United.

Young goalkeeper Max Merrick, so impressive in the opening weeks of the season, and highly rated winger Jack Nolan have both been ruled out through injury.

Former Sunderland and Middlesbrough man Nathan Fisher, who conceded 10 goals during the humiliating National League Cup defeat to Middlesbrough's under-21s earlier this month, and Corey McKeown, who came off the bench to score the winning goal against Aldershot Town last week, start in their place.

Neo Eccleston replaces Jay Benn, who endured a torrid time up against the lively Hakeem Sandah in Hampshire last time out, while Nathan Sheron is preferred to Chris Popov.
