Mansfield Town will be looking for their first win of the new season when they take on Lincoln City in the group stages of the EFL Trophy this evening.<\/p>\n
The Stags have lost four and drew two of their six games in all competitions this season and have been knocked out of the EFL Cup, lie 21st<\/sup> in the League Two table and are currently bottom of the EFL Trophy Group 5 after losing their first match against Manchester City U21\u2019s.<\/p>\n
At Newport on Saturday the Stags took a second half lead to be pegged back before conceding a late winner and Graham Coughlan will be sure to use this game as an opportunity to get back some confidence against a Lincoln side that are currently top of League One but will be sure to rest players ahead of their trip to the One Call Stadium this evening.<\/p>\n
Coughlan has stated that he wants to field a strong a side as possible and a good performance would come as a timely boost ahead of the weekends match against Stevenage.<\/p>\n
Kick Off tonight is 7pm with the match screened live only on iFollow.<\/p>\n
