Micky Mellon
Fleetwood v Mansfield
Mansfield Town travel to Highbury Stadium on Tuesday eager to build on an encouraging start to the season.
Fleetwood Town, meanwhile, drew their opening Blue Square Bet Premier fixture 1-1 against Rushden & Diamonds, a result that impressed manager Micky Mellon.
"[The fans] know it was a good performance and we have taken big strides forward as a club in the past few years," he told The Gazette.
Mellon also promised the Cod Army fans they "will get a good look at" his team during the Stags' visit.
A number of Fleetwood first teamers missed the opening day due to injury but one of them, Alan Wright, could return if he proves he has overcome a calf-muscle injury in a late fitness test.
But Mellon will be without the services of Junior Brown, Steven Connors (both calf) and Sean Clancy (hernia) who remain sidelined.
Mansfield beat Forest Green 3-1 on Saturday and manager David Holdsworth is not expected to tinker with a winning formula with midfielder Matt Somner still out with an injury.
