Mansfield Town v Burton Albion: Is the game on TV? Kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Mansfield Town, who were promoted from League Two last season, enjoyed a fantastic start to life in League One last weekend and they will be looking to continue that momentum at home to Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon.

The Stags produced one of the shocks of the opening weekend as they won 2-1 against promotion hopefuls Barnsley at Oakwell. They did, however, fall at the first hurdle in the EFL Cup in midweek, losing on penalties to Bolton Wanderers.

Burton will be keen to kickstart their season this weekend after a 3-2 home defeat to Lincoln City last weekend was followed by a 4-0 defeat to Blackpool in the EFL Cup first round.
