Match preview: Notts County vs Stags

24 October 2017

Mansfield Town make the short trip to Meadow Lane on Tuesday 24 October (7.45pm kick-off) in their second Checkatrade Trophy game of the season and this is your comprehensive guide to the fixture.

Centre-halves David Mirfin and Zander Diamond will both be absent from the Stags' squad at Meadow Lane. 

Mirfin sustained what Stags' boss Steve Evans described as a 'minute' hamstring strain against Barnet last week, whilst Diamond is expected to return to training on Thursday after his hamstring strain. 

Midfielder Joel Byrom could be included, however, after returning to full training. 

The only absentee for the Magpies is goalkeeper Adam Collin, who has a knee problem. 

Stags have recorded two 1-1 draws in the space of the last seven days. 

After being defeated at home to Swindon Town, Stags drew 1-1 away at The Hive Stadium last week after frontman Kane Hemmings struck his first goal for the club. Former loanee Shaq Coulthirst then scored five minutes from time to secure a point for the Bees. 

Stags then travelled to a rain-drenched Rodney Parade on Saturday and secured another hard-fought point. 

Striker Danny Rose scored his eighth goal of the season in the first half before substitute Shawn McCoulsky rescued a point for the home side in the second half. 

The Magpies have won just once in their last five matches, a 2-1 victory over Barnet at Meadow Lane. 

Kevin Nolan's side drew 1-1 away to Carlisle United on Saturday after midfielder Ryan Yates cancelled out Hallam Hope's opener. 

Stags recorded a brilliant 3-1 win over the Magpies in our last meeting just over three weeks ago. 

Striker Danny Rose bagged a brilliant brace in the second half, before his low cross was turned into his own net by County's Richard Duffy. 

Notts scored a consolation in injury time when Carl Dickinson curled in a lovely free-kick. 

HEAD-TO-HEAD record: W: 16 | D: 13 | L: 18

Graham Horwood will be the referee for the fixture and he will be assisted by Duncan Street and Joe Simpson. John Brooks will be the fourth official. 

Mr Horwood's last match in charge of the Stags was our 1-0 win away to Crawley Town in January 2016.
