The Stags present the next challenge following our 2-0 home win over Morecambe in the first round.

Mansfield progressed to round two courtesy of a 1-0 success on the road at fellow League Two side Barrow.

TEAM NEWS

Wednesday: Wednesday will be without Josh Windass, who sustained a groin strain during our 1-0 win over Shrewsbury last Saturday.

Akin Famewo played 45 minutes for the Under-21s in midweek but this weekend is likely to come too soon for the defender’s first team return.

Dennis Adeniran and George Byers are making good progress from their respective injuries.
