Mansfield Town will travel to Brunton Park to face Carlisle United this Saturday (3.00pm kick-off) and this is your comprehensive guide to the fixture.
Stags' boss Steve Evans told the local media on Thursday that defender Zander Diamond will train on Thursday and Friday before a decision is made as to whether he's fit enough to face Carlisle United.
He said: "Zander will train today. He trained yesterday with the medical side. He was in yesterday; our injured players are in seven-days-a-week now. It's the medical staff that have to work them quite hard and Zander trained really well yesterday.
"One or two days' training; does that allow you to be fit to be competitive in League Two? We'll see how it is. If he trains exceptionally well on Thursday and Friday, he'll travel, if not we'll properly make him available on Monday."
For the hosts, only defender Tom Parkes is missing due to suspension, after being dismissed against Lincoln City last week.
Goals from defender Rhys Bennett and striker Lee Angol contributed to a 2-2 draw with Luton Town last Saturday as Stags picked up their fourth point out of a possible six at One Call Stadium.
Stags' manager Steve Evans then made 10 changes to his side for the midweek Checkatrade Trophy defeat to Lincoln City, as the Imps won 3-1 after winger Alfie Potter had put the Stags in an early lead.
The Cumbrians have won two and lost two of their first four Sky Bet League Two fixtures.
After losing at home to Swindon Town on the opening day, Keith Curle's side bounced back to record victories against Cambridge United and Cheltenham Town.
However, in their last Sky Bet League Two match against Lincoln City, they were defeated 4-1 after defender Tom Parkes was sent off just after going 2-0 down.
The sides last met in March at One Call Stadium, when the Stags ran out 2-0 victors.
After a first half which balanced on a knife-edge, frontmen Matt Green and Shaq Coulthirst struck in the second period to ensure the Stags won all three points.
HEAD-TO-HEAD record: W: 29 | D: 16 | L: 29
