Mansfield Town – Leicester

Mansfield Town will host Leicester in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with both sides hovering around the middle of the table. The Stags sit 17th with seven points from six games, having scored eight and conceded eleven, while the Foxes occupy 13th place with eight points, their goal tally standing at eight for and ten against. Leicester’s unbeaten run of two draws in their last four outings suggests they will be looking to convert those stalemates into wins, whereas Mansfield’s three defeats indicate a need to tighten up at the back. With the gap between the two clubs a single point, the encounter could prove pivotal in the fight for survival and a push up the standings.
