Forest Green could move to the brink of Sky Bet League Two promotion with victory over Hartlepool.

Rovers are 12 points ahead of fourth-placed Northampton, with a game in hand, and three more would put the champagne firmly on ice.

The New Lawn club have vowed to win promotion for 27-goal striker Matty Stevens, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury last weekend.

Boss Rob Edwards will assess the rest of his squad following their midweek win at Mansfield, where everyone appeared to come through unscathed.
