After a disappointing goalless draw at home against Crawley Town on Good Friday, Birmingham City have edged closer to legendary status in League One, securing back-to-back victories at Burton Albion and Stevenage, which has taken the Second City club to 102 points for the season.

Birmingham need just one win from their remaining three fixtures to surpass Wolverhampton Wanderers' third-tier record of 103 points from the 2013-14 season, making Chris Davies's team incredibly close to being regarded as the best in this division based on league standings.

While records may be broken at St Andrew's this weekend, it is certain that Birmingham will lift the League One trophy in front of around 29,000 fans after the Mansfield match, allowing the hosts to celebrate their final home game of the campaign after clinching the title with six games to spare.

Davies's side remains the only team in the third tier with an unbeaten home record heading into the final stages of the 2024-25 season, having won an impressive 18 out of 22 home matches in the Second City, while dropping points only four times.

With their main team goal already achieved, some of Birmingham's key players will now focus on individual awards, particularly Jay Stansfield, who trails Leyton Orient's Charlie Kelman by two goals in the League One Golden Boot race with 19 goals.

After enjoying a five-game winning streak in League One early in the season, newly-promoted Mansfield Town briefly threatened a playoff push, but a poor run of form recently has put them at risk of relegation.

The Stags' winless streak extended to five matches on Easter Monday, where a second-half goal from Keanu Baccus served only as a consolation in a 5-1 defeat to playoff-chasing Reading at a disheartened One Call Stadium.

Earning just one point from their last five League One games, Mansfield have dropped to 19th in the standings with three games left, sitting five points above Bristol Rovers in the relegation zone.

Having played one fewer game than their rivals in the relegation battle, Mansfield know that a point at St Andrew's this weekend would nearly secure their place in the third tier for another season—a significant milestone considering their non-league struggles in the early 2010s.

Mansfield are one of 10 teams that have taken points off Birmingham this season, drawing 1-1 at One Call Stadium in October when Lee Gregory equalized after an early goal from Willum Willumsson.

Birmingham are expected to start their key players in this final home game of a record-breaking campaign, so expect to see Jay Stansfield, Tomoki Iwata, and Alex Cochrane in the lineup.

Although Scotland international Grant Hanley has performed well in the last two matches, he may be replaced by Christoph Klarer in defense on Sunday.

Birmingham will be without Lyndon Dykes, Scott Wright, and Emil Hansson for the rest of the season.

Following their heavy defeat to Reading earlier in the week, Mansfield might make several changes to their lineup, with players like Alfie Kilgour and Elliott Hewitt at risk of being benched.

Facing the league's most potent attack, the Stags could bring in experienced defender Aden Flint to bolster their defense at St Andrew's.

Birmingham City possible starting lineup:

Allsop; Laird, Klarer, Davies, Cochrane; Paik, Iwata; Dowell, Willumsson, Anderson; Stansfield

Mansfield Town possible starting lineup:

Pym; Oshilaja, Williams, Flint; Vickers, Lewis, Reed, Baccus, Bowery; Rhodes, Maris
