Marc Pullan is a notable exception as Eastbourne Borough field a weakened back four at Mansfield today.

Neil Jenkins is ruled out as he starts a three-game ban so Dan Brown is expected to fill in at left-back with the fit again Darren Baker and Gary Elphick, who missed out with flu last week, teaming up in the heart of defence.

Matt Crabb returns to left midfield following an ankle injury with Joe Benjamin likely to switch to the right and Paul Armstrong and Simon Weatherstone in the centre.

Liam Enver-Marum plays alongside Kayne McLaggon up front as Borough break from their normal 4-5-1 formation away from home.

Mansfield hand a debut to midfielder Jon Challinor who signed yesterday on loan from Cambridge United.
