Confidence is up at Aggborough after Kidderminster Harriers won their last two games, scoring six goals in the process.

They face the challenge of fourth placed Hartlepool United who could be chasing automatic promotion depending on the severity of the Football League punishment dished out to Chesterfield for financial irregularities.

So a win is important for the men from the North-East who defeated Harriers 3-1 at home back in November.

Three defeats in a row this month were a worry for boss Chris Turner but they got their form back on track with the 1-0 home success over Scunthorpe United last Saturday.

Harriers have had a wretched 2001 but have beaten Plymouth Argyle 3-0 and play-off hopefuls Cheltenham Town 3-1 in their last two matches.

Harriers will give a late fitness test to midfielder Paul Webb but target man Drewe Broughton should be fit. Paul Webb
