Vale Park is the location as league cup action gets underway on Tuesday night and Hartlepool look for a first win of the season.

Port Vale, from league 1, will be the favourites against Hartlepool tonight as we looking to cause what would be a league cup upset really

Colin Daniel could come into Micky Adams’ thoughts, if not starting XI. He wasn’t fit enough for the one-one draw with Walsall on Saturday. Sam Johnson should keep out ‘keeper Chris Neal again, having done so at the weekend.

Hartlepool boss Colin Cooper doesn’t have any injury concerns from the weekend to contend with but ‘keeper Andy Rafferty remains sidelined through injury, this is a game that he might have otherwise started?

Seven of the eight meetings since Port Vale thrashed us 6-0 in the FA cup in 1994 have been won so the omens aren’t too bad ahead of the first ever league cup meeting.

We had enjoyed a run of eight successive round one victories previously, but are now on a run of three seasons in a row of first round knockouts, can we change this tonight?
