THE Brewers face Plymouth Argyle today, hoping to make it three home league wins in a row.
HEAD 2 HEAD

Overall, the two sides have met nine times, with Albion winning six and losing just the once. The Brewers have also never failed to score against the Pilgrims, netting 13 times and keeping two clean sheets.

BAG POLICY
Burton Albion is reminding fans that they are encouraged not to bring bags to the Pirelli Stadium.
The policy is in operation for security and safety reasons and is in line with other football clubs in the EFL.
The club does not permit holdalls and rucksacks in the stands, terraces or in hospitality areas. The club also discourages bringing smaller bags into the ground. Anyone bringing any bag to the Pirelli Stadium will have to have it checked and tagged by security staff. This will mean that supporters must be willing to present their bags for checking on arrival and that there may be queues meaning extra time will be needed to enter the stadium.
