Mansfield Town’s Emirates FA Cup third round tie at Cheltenham has been moved – as it has been selected to be screened live.

The contest will now take place on Sunday, January 10, and can be viewed free online via The FA Player.

This means the tie will not be available for live viewing on iFollow Stags – the club’s online digital channel, although the service will still provide full match audio commentary.

Kick off will be at 1.30pm.

The Stags progressed into the third round after Nicky Maynard’s last-gasp winner saw off National League Dagenham & Redbridge 2-1 in round two, following their 1-0 win at Sunderland in round one.
