Mansfield begin life in League One with a tricky trip to Oakwell to face Barnsley under the Friday night lights.

The Stags are tackling the third tier of English football for the first time in more than two decades following a third-place finish in League Two last season.

Davis Keillor-Dunn was Mansfield's main man in the 2023/24 campaign with 31 goal contributions in 46 league appearances, and manager Nigel Clough will need the attacking midfielder to continue that form if his side are to survive at this level, although new recruit Will Evans should help ease the goalscoring burden.

They are thrown in at the deep end because Barnsley are among the favourites to earn promotion after finishing in the League One play-off spots for the second year in a row last term.

The Tykes' top scorer for the last two campaigns, Devante Cole, has left for West Brom, although new boss Darrell Clarke has added experience to his squad with the signings of defender Marc Roberts and midfielder Conor Hourihane.
