Mansfield Town prepare to entertain Grays Athletic at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Stags have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Field Mill was just last season, in August 2008, the Stags carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
