HEAD-TO-HEAD
The Brewers and the Cod Army have met 18 times since both sides made it into the Football League – and results have largely been split in that time. Albion have picked up nine victories to Fleetwood’s eight, with just one draw between the two sides since August 2012.
That draw actually came in the FA Cup second round in 2013, with both sides playing out a 1-1 draw at Highbury before the Brewers triumphed 1-0 in the replay at the Pirelli.
Of the seven games played at the Pirelli Stadium in the last decade, the Brewers have won four with Fleetwood boasting the better record at Highbury.
Our last game at the Pirelli saw Town take a 2-0 lead before two goals from Oumar Niasse and one from Louis Moult secured a 3-2 win for the Brewers.
MATCH OFFICIALS
Tomorrow night’s referee is Charles Breakspear. Breakspear, from Surrey, has shown four red cards and 43 yellows in his 12 games so far this season. The last match Breakspear officiated involving the Brewers was last season’s 2-1 win away at Lincoln City.
The assistant referees are Mark Cunliffe and Hristo Karaivanov, with Andrew Hendley as the fourth official.
