Ebbsfleet United v Mansfield

Ebbsfleet will be looking to bounce back from their 3-0 drubbing at the hands of AFC Wimbledon when they entertain Mansfield Town on Saturday.

The Fleet are currently second-from-bottom after only having picked up a solitary win so far this season and boss Liam Diash knows that he will have his hands full against the promotion-chasing Stags.

Daish told ThisisNottingham: "We have to stay calm and stay focused, not be rash and hopefully improve in front of goal," he said.

"Things have gone against us but we've maintained the work-rate and competed."

Daish will be without the services of Darius Charles, who is suspended and Leon Crooks and Clint Easton who are both still sidelined with hamstring injuries.

New signing Alexander Stavrinou could make his debut for the Stonebridge Road side.

David Holdsworth's charges are in fifth place in the standings and they will be determined to pick up the three points.

New recruits Lee Morris and Andy Burgess could make their debuts for the Stags, but Holdsworth will be without but Kyle Perry (thigh), Jake Speight (knee) and Gary Mills (hamstring).
