The most recent encounter between these two sides at Brunton Park was two seasons ago, in November 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
United's home form is poor, winning just two of the last six and losing the other four. While the Cumbrians have scored seven, a worringly large ten have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Mansfield is pretty dire, managing a paltry two draws from the last six matches. While the Stags have hit five goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
United's 17 points from 13 games sees them lie just inside the top half of the table in 12th position. Mansfield find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only ten points.
