The Stags welcome Everton under-21s to One Call Stadium on Tuesday 27 August for their opening Leasing.com Trophy clash (7.45pm kick-off). Here's all you need to know ahead of the game...
Mansfield were without defenders Krystian Pearce and Kellan Gordon on Saturday, with the pair both failing a fitness test in the hours preceeding the draw with Stevenage. Manager John Dempster added after the game that it is unlikely the pair will be fit for Tuesday evening's encounter.
The game will also likely come to soon for striker Nicky Maynard, midfielder Neal Bishop and wing-back Hayden White, along with forward Andy Cook.
Long-term absentees Craig Davies, Bobby Olejnik and Jordan Graham will also miss out.
The referee for Tuesday's match will be Ben Toner, assisted by Lisa Rashid and Stephen Wade. The fourth official will be Steven Rushton.
The Stags have slashed prices for Tuesday's game, with ticket prices set at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (under-18 and 65+).
