Boss Nigel Clough has a wealth of options to select from at the back and up front but is waiting on several injured players before he can select a side. Depending on availability, here is an XI we think he may opt for.
9. RYAN STIRK
With George Maris and Ollie Clarke not 100 per cent, George Lapslie possibly suspended and Kieran Wallace withdrawn for Stirk on Tuesday, it would be no surprise to see the Birmingham City youngster back in Saturday's starting XI. Photo: Chris Holloway
10. STEPHEN QUINN
As always a must on the team sheet. As we near the end of a thrilling campaign with glory still possible, his experience is invaluable. Photo: Chris Holloway
11. OLI HAWKINS
With Perch fit again in defence and Rawson on the bench, Stags can afford to send the towering Hawkins back up front from his makeshift centre half role to give Scunthorpe a different problem. He is in contention along with Johnson, Bowery and Akins for a shirt with Clough vowing to pick an attacking line-up away to League Two's bottom club.
Hawkins was so good up there early season, almost unplayable, surely it's time to give him another run up there now? Photo: Chris Holloway
12. DANNY JOHNSON
If Rhys Oates is not fully fit by Saturday then Johnson has every right to be in contention after a lively contribution as a sub on Tuesday. Lucas Akins missed a crucial sitter so Johnson will believe he will now get a chance to show what he can do up there. Photo: Chris Holloway
