The Stags are back on home soil this Saturday as they welcome Southend United to One Call Stadium for a 3pm kick-off. Here’s all you need to know ahead of the match…
Boss Nigel Clough confirmed that striker Nicky Maynard and defender James Perch are in contention for Saturday’s game after they were both absent from Tuesday’s loss to Carlisle United.
Right-back Joe Riley is a long-term absentee and will miss Saturday’s game.
For Southend, Lewis Gard, Nathan Ralph and John White are likely to miss out.
The Stags have lost just twice in their last 12 outings, but one of these defeats did come on Tuesday evening against high-flying Carlisle.
Southend’s form has improved of late, with the Shrimpers winning back-to-back matches heading into Saturday’s clash.
We last faced Southend in a Sky Bet League Two clash in April 2015, a game that ended 2-0 to the Shrimpers.
The referee for Saturday’s match will be Brett Huxtable, assisted by Richard Woodward and Paul Stonier. The fourth official will be Wayne Grunnill.
Mr. Huxtable last took charge of a Mansfield fixture in our 2-1 win away at Forest Green Rovers last month, Nigel Clough’s first league win as Stags’ boss.
