Flores and Danns, who signed from Wigan and Bury respectively in the final stages of the January transfer window, are two of five changes to Pool's line-up from their 2-0 FA Cup at Blackburn Rovers last week.

Brad Potts returns from injury to take his place in midfield, while defender Kelvin Mellor misses out through suspension after being dismissed against Rovers.
