TWO old rivals go head-to-head on Sunday as Burton Albion travel to Accrington Stanley's Wham Stadium to take on a side, and a manager in John Coleman, we met decades ago in the Northern Premier League.
Check out our preview as we look to get back to winning ways on the road, on the back of two back-to-back home victories.
HEAD 2 HEAD
BREWERS NEWS
Albion will monitor the fitness of right-back John Brayford ahead of the game, following his substitution late on in our 4-2 win over Tranmere Rovers. Brayford has recently returned to the first-team following a spell out with a calf injury.
“He just felt something tighten up, but hopefully he will be able to get back out there," said manager Nigel Clough.
"It’s difficult when you are coming back from an injury like John is and you have to play so many games in a short space of time.”
Nathan Broadhead (hamstring) remains sidelined while Ben Fox and Callum Hawkins (knee) are longer-term absentees. Jevan Anderson (thigh) also missed out on the Boxing Day squad.
ACCRINGTON NEWS
According to Accrington's official website, manager John Coleman has two main doubts heading into Sunday's game.
Colby Bishop (back) and Seamus Conneely (groin) both missed Stanley's late 1-0 win away at Blackpool, and both are set to have fitness tests ahead of the match this weekend.
MATCH OFFICIALS
The referee for this Sunday's match will be Christopher Sarginson from Staffordshire. In his 19 games so far this season, Sarginson has shown no red cards but issued 46 cautions.
The assistants will be Gary Hilton and Graeme Fyvie, with Mark Cunliffe as fourth official.
