Mansfield Town and Stockport County go head-to-head at the One Call Stadium in League Two on Saturday.
After missing out on the play-offs by a single goal last season, the hosts have made an unbeaten start to their 11th straight campaign in the fourth tier.
Nigel Clough's side have maintained their unblemished record by coming from behind to rescue a point in each of their last two outings against Doncaster Rovers and Grimsby Town.
The Stags have also won both their home matches this term without conceding a goal, sweeping Morecambe aside 3-0 after defeating Grimsby 2-0 in the Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, last year's play-off finalists Stockport finally got their first win on the board last time out, new signing Louie Barry scoring the only goal against Barrow.
Dave Challinor's side are desperate to bounce back from their Wembley heartbreak in May, but the Hatters are now without a win in each of their last four matches away from Edgeley Park.
Mansfield came from behind to win 2-1 when the sides met here last season, while Lucas Akins' last-minute equaliser salvaged a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in March.
It is safe to say both sides are unlikely to want to change too much.
However, Mansfield have a worrying lengthy injury list with Callum Johnson, Aaron Lewis, Hiram Boateng and Lewis Reed joined on the sidelines by defender Alfie Kilgour, who is out for the season with a ruptured Achilles.
After limping off at half-time against Grimsby, Baily Cargill and Stephen Quinn will be assessed prior to the encounter.
Clough also provided an update on James Gale and John-Joe O'Toole, who recently returned to training after injury lay-offs.
Speaking ahead of a busy period in which his side will play three times in eight days, the Stags boss told the club website: "I wish we had a couple more bodies. When you lose the likes of Hiram Boateng and Aaron Lewis, they give you great options in midfield, and it starts to bite.
"James Gale, if all goes well, could be a couple of weeks, and John-Joe O’Toole has been out since this freak injury in a warm-up in pre-season. He’ll be a little bit longer, but it’s just good to see them out again running.
"We’re playing well and have three great games to look forward to."
Meanwhile, Stockport have no fresh injury concerns and will want to remain fairly similar as they look to extend their unbeaten run.
The game will not be available to watch live on TV. Although fans not attending can follow the action on local radio or by watching Gillette Soccer Special on Sky Sports News, which begins at 3pm BST.
Alternatively, supporters can purchase an audio match pass via Mansfield’s official website.
Once the game is finished, highlights will be available via Sky Sports, who will post a three-minute video on their YouTube account.
ITV will also show highlights of the game later on ITV4 from 9pm that day – with the programme repeated on ITV1 later at 11.30pm.
Tickets for home supporters are still available to purchase in the Ian Greeves Upper and Lower tiers, as well as the Quarry Lane End. These can be found on Mansfield’s website.
There is also still time for Stockport fans to book their tickets via their website, with seats available in the North Stand.
