Dion Charles returns in attack as Wanderers ring in the New Year at Mansfield.
Charles – who scored in a home win over the Stags last month – partners Aaron Collins in attack as boss Ian Evatt makes three changes to his starting line-up following Sunday’s home win over Lincoln City.
Luke Southwood earns an opportunity in goal, with Gethin Jones returning in front of him in the Whites’ defence as Wanderers aim for a fifth away win of the campaign and possible double over Mansfield, who are three points behind eighth-placed Wanderers in the League One table.
Mansfield, with one defeat in their last four games, also make changes to their front line with Rhys Oates starting his first game of the season in tandem with the experienced Lee Gregory, also back for a first start following injury.
