Team news: Doncaster Rovers, Sheffield United, Bradford City v York City, Rotherham United
League One
Hartlepool United v Doncaster Rovers
Team news: Shelton Martis (hamstring) and Paul Quinn (groin), who missed the midweek encounter against Chesterfield, should be fit for today’s encounter, while Gary Woods, who had an infection in his finger ahead of the Spireites game, is also okay. Iain Hume is on international duty with Canada – Jamie McCombe is on the long-term injured list – and Saunders has admitted that the performance of midweek ‘super-sub’ Ball has given him ‘food for thought’ ahead of this afternoon’s game, especially with his loan striker out.
Sheffield United v Oldham Athletic
Team news: Neill Collins remains a doubt with a foot injury, with Danny Wilson monitoring the fitness of loan striker John Cofie. United are set to be without goalkeeper Mark Howard (thigh) for up to 12 weeks. Teenager George Long is set to deputise but forward Paul Gallagher has left after failing to sort a loan extension.
League Two
