Mansfield Town vs Northampton Town - Mansfield hoping Matty Blair is available

Mansfield manager Adam Murray hopes to have an unchanged squad for the visit of runaway League Two leaders Northampton.

Matty Blair is a slight worry after sustaining a knock during the defeat at Wycombe but there is a good chance the winger will be fit for the game.

Murray will again be without Reggie Lambe, who is away on international duty with Bermuda, and the suspended Adi Yussuf.

The Stags, without a win in five games - losing four of them - still have plenty of options though, with the likes of Adam Chapman, Chris Beardsley, Colin Daniel, Jack Thomas and Jamie McGuire available for recalls.

Northampton boss Chris Wilder will make late decisions over midfielders Lee Martin and Joel Byrom before naming his team.

Both came off with knocks during Friday's 1-0 home victory over Newport and Wilder will assess their condition ahead of the game.

If they do not recover in time, the manager has options with top-scorer Marc Richards an unused substitute at Rodney Parade on his return from an Achilles injury, and Nicky Adams not even making the bench.

The Cobblers head for the One Call Stadium having lost just once in 18 games in all competitions.
