The Owls are looking to book their spot in the third round of the competition after seeing off Morecambe in the first game, and will be up against a Stags side that have got about 4,000 fans who have made the trip to Hillsborough.

Only Michael Ihiekwe, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Alex Mighten keep their place from the 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town, but there is still plenty of quality and experience in the side named by Darren Moore. Cameron Dawson gets to start in place of David Stockdale.
