Is this how Hartlepool United could line up ahead of Sutton United test?

Hartlepool United are bidding to continue their perfect start to the new National League season when they make the long trip to South London to take on a Sutton United side who have themselves won both of their first two matches this term.

Goalkeeper: Max Merrick

The 20-year-old has drawn well-deserved praise from the likes of Lee Clark and Jeff Stelling this week following a stellar start to his Pools career, keeping back-to-back clean sheets against Barrow and Aldershot Town. While he didn't have many saves to make against a spirited Shots side on Saturday, he was extremely impressive in dealing with balls into his box, catching, claiming, punching and clearing everything the Hampshire side threw at him. Pools might well be expecting a step up in class in South London this weekend and so Merrick could have a vital role to play once again.
