John Olav Hjelde is expected to face his former side as the Stags tackle their supposed more illustrious neighbours from down the road.
Forest remain in League 1 (Division 3 to me and you) after a spectular fall from grace. Gary Megson could not lift them from the doldrums, and that task has now been handed to a former Stags defender, Colin Calderwood.
Calderwood made 100 appearances for the Stags between the years 1981-1985, before being sold to Swindon Town for £30,000.
The game kicks of at 3pm, with reduced admission prices in operation.
