Dimitri Sea and Jordan Stevens are hoping to earn starts for Barrow, seeing as loanees Jacob Wakeling and Will Harris were the two players withdrawn last time out. Barrow are without left-sided defender Kgosi Ntlhe, while Tom Beadling is suspended after a red card at Barnsley. Mansfield have bolstered their squad by signing Lucas Akins from Nigel Clough's former club. The Burton stalwart may be eased into an in-form side. On-loan defender Richard Nartey remains sidelined. Utility man James Perch has been ruled out for the season with a fractured skull, while attacking right-back Kellan Gordon is absent.
Barrow are hoping the 2-0 victory at Colchester can prompt an ascent into the top half of the table, which the Bluebirds' performances have threatened in recent weeks. Mark Cooper's side, though, welcome League Two's form side, with Mansfield winning six in succession, that run elevating the Stags not just into the top seven, but into contention for automatic promotion. Mansfield will feel they are now up where they belong, but Barrow might be able to halt their form at Holker Street. 2:1
