FOLLOWING our first ever victory in this competition, Burton Albion continue the Leasing.com Trophy journey tomorrow night (7.45pm kick-off) as we host Everton U21s at the Pirelli Stadium.
Get all the information you need ahead of this Northern Group E game right here with our match preview.
HEAD 2 HEAD
This will be the first time the Brewers have met Everton in a competitive fixture, although the Toffees do have some history with our town.
Going back to 1897, Everton recorded a resounding 5-2 victory over Burton Wanderers in the first round of the FA Cup at Goodison Park! John Bell, Edgar Chadwick, John Holt and Alf Milward were on target for Everton.
The Brewers currently top Northern Group E following our 3-1 victory over Crewe Alexandra at the start of September. Everton beat Mansfield Town on penalties in matchday one, having drawn 1-1 with the Sky Bet League Two side at the end of 90 minutes.
BURTON ALBION TEAM NEWS
The Brewers will be without Nathan Broadhead for this Leasing.com Trophy game, with the on-loan forward ineligible to face his parent club.
Broadhead, in fact, won Premier League 2 and the Premier League Cup with Everton's developmental side last season, completing a remarkable double.
Albion will also be without John Brayford (calf), Jake Buxton (ribs) and Stephen Quinn (knee) for the fixture. Wingers David Templeton and Lloyd Dyer will both be pushing for starts and aside from the four names mentioned, everybody else in the Brewers squad is in contention to play.
VIEW FROM THE EVERTON CAMP
Everton's U23s are currently unbeaten in all competitions so far this season, and capped a fine comeback a few days ago by drawing 2-2 with Manchester City from 2-0 down.
Antony Evans and Ellis Simms both played for the U23s on that occasion and both players could be in line to feature for the Toffees tomorrow evening.
Beni Baningime could also feature, having played in the first game against Mansfield Town and impressing in that 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
"He’s a class act and probably shouldn’t be playing at (developmental) level," Everton U23s coach David Unsworth said after the City game. "He’s getting the profile to kick on in his senior career.
"He played a bit further forward tonight which I felt suited him against the opposition, and he is consistently one of the best players on the pitch every week."
REFEREE
Andy Haines will be the man in the middle for tomorrow night's game. Haines has taken charge of eight games so far this season, dishing out 24 yellow cards and two reds.
Haines officiated two Brewers matches last season - our 2-1 FA Cup first round defeat at Scunthorpe United and our 2-0 win away at AFC Wimbledon in February.
The Tyne & Wear referee will be assisted on the evening by Gareth Mellor and Oliver Mackey, with Hristo Karaivanov as the fourth official.
