Salop have taken seven points out of a possible nine in their last three home fixtures. They beat Lincoln on Boxing Day, they drew against Northampton, and they got a brilliant derby-day win against Wrexham just over two weeks ago. 

Town have struggled much more away from Shropshire in recent weeks. They have lost their last three away games - all by a narrow one-goal margin. 

So they will be delighted to be back on home turf this weekend when they welcome Nigel Clough's Mansfield side to the Meadow. 

Head coach Gareth Ainsworth has managed to get his team going in Shropshire, and it is the end of a busy three-game week for Salop. 

Will the boss make changes to his team? Well, that will be up for debate.
