Top scorer Bo Henriksen finally makes his return from a hamstring injury after just one substitute appearance in the last three weeks.

Henriksen is joined in the starting line-up by midfielder John Melligan who has been on Republic of Ireland under-21s duty.

The two players have scored 29 goals between them this season so will be vital to Harrier's plans of beating top of the table Hartlepool.

Stuart Brock keeps his place in goal though Fraser Digby is fit after a knee injury and is on the bench.

Hartlepool are without injured defender Michael Barron so Paul Arnison fills his position.

Harriers: Brock; A Smith, Scott, Hinton; Bennett, Melligan, D Williams, Flynn, Shilton; Henriksen, Bishop.

Subs: Digby (GK), Stamps, Parrish, Broughton, McAuley.

Hartlepool: A Williams; Arnison, Lee, Westwood, Robinson; Clarke, Humphreys, Tinkler, P Smith; Watson, Henderson.

Subs: Provett (GK), E Williams, Bass, Richardson, Boyd.

Referee: Carl Boyeson, Humberside.
