Despite both County and Mansfield Town under intense pressure to win tonight's game Hatters' chief Jim Gannon is expecting an exciting encounter.

Speaking to stockportcounty.com he said: "Paul Holland has helped guide Mansfield Town to a position where they can strike for survival.

"They had a huge win against Wrexham last midweek and their last home game saw another valuable point.

"Despite the pressure of getting results, Paul has encouraged a good positive passing game and Mansfield Town play with a freedom not displayed by other teams near the foot of the table.

"I feel that Mansfield Town will stay up this season. Having looked at the fixtures for both the Stags and Notts County I feel the pressure is very much on Notts County as they have four extremely difficult fixtures remaining.

"But, as with all seasons, the excitement and drama at both ends of the table will go right down to the last day."
