Muggleton returned in goal in place of White, D'Laryea was back in midfield at the expense of Briggs and Louis, back from international duty, partnered Boulding up front with Wainwright dropping to the bench and Arnold moving back into midfield.

The Magpies looked to have suffered a major pre-match blow when keeper Hoult was hurt in the warm-up and had to helped of, but the physio staff seemed to work wonders as he trotted out gingerly for kick-off.

Notts also welcomed back central defensive rocks Edwards and Johnson to their side after missing out on Monday and also included former Stags wing ace Corden with another ex-Stags on the bench in MacKenzie.

NOTTS: Sandercombe, Edwards, Tann, Smith, Silk, Mayo, Crow, Butcher, Johnson, Jarvis, Corden. Subs: Canoville, MacKenzie, Lee, Hunt, Weir-Daley.

STAGS: Muggleton, Mullins, Jelleyman, D'Laryea, Hamshaw, Dawson, M. Boulding, Buxton, John-Baptiste, Arnold, Louis. Subs: White, Brown, Wainwright, Horlock, Briggs.

REFEREE: Mark Haywood of West Yorkshire.
