Burton have been handed a major boost as they chase another cup upset.

Adam McGurk, their matchwinner against QPR in the last round, has been passed fit to face Albion in the Capital One Cup.

The left-sided midfielder has passed a fitness test on the hip problem which ruled him out of the 3-1 defeat at Bury on Saturday.

That result knocked the Brewers off the top of League Two but they have a perfect record here at the Pirelli Stadium in league and cup.

They make three changes in total from the side beaten at Gigg Lane but top scorer Lucas Akins (ankle) is still among several absentees due to injury.

The hosts line-up in a 4-4-2 formation.

Burton: McLaughlin; Edwards, Sharps, Taft, McFadzean; Harness, Weir, Palmer, McGurk; Knowles, Blyth. Subs: Lyness, Cansdell-Sherriff, Mousinho, Bell, Beavon, Austin, Slade.
