FA CUP: Stags are ball 55 as they dream of glamour tie tonight
Stags saw off Guiseley 3-0 yesterday to book their place and will be hoping for a glamour draw against the likes of Manchester United (ball 25), Tottenham (ball 40), Liverpool (ball 23), Chelsea (ball 13), Manchester City (ball 24) or Arsenal (ball two).
The last time Mansfield reached the third round in 2012/13, they drew Liverpool at home, losing a close game 2-1.
