📰 Team News: Mansfield Town

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Alfie Kilgour (Achilles tendon rupture) is sidelined.

We think that The Stags could kick off with a 5-4-1 system for the game and select Viktor Johansson, Sebastian Revan, Hakeem Odoffin, Lee Peltier, Cameron Humphreys, Cohen Bramall, Oliver Rathbone, Andy Rinomhota, Sam Clucas, Cafu and Sam Nombe.

📋 Team News: Gillingham

Due to a fully healthy group available for selection, the Gillingham manager Stephen Clemence does not have any fitness worries at all coming into this match.

We are inclined to think that The Gills appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for John Ruddy, Ethan Laird, Krystian Bielik, Dion Sanderson, Lee Buchanan, Seung-ho Paik, Ivan Sunjic, Koji Miyoshi, Tyler Roberts, Keshi Anderson and Jay Stansfield.
