Paul Armstrong returns to his favoured role in central midfield for the visit of leaders Burton Albion.

Armstrong has been used either on the right-hand side of midfield or in an advanced role since returning from a long-term head injury.

The skipper gets the nod alongside Danny Brown in a 4-4-2 formation with Matt Smart dropping to the bench.

Jay Lovett comes in to the side on the right wing as one of three changes from the side which drew 0-0 with Salisbury in midweek.

The other two come up front with Sam Gargan and Jack Jeffery coming in to replace Andy Atkin and Nathan Crabb, who are both among the substitutes.

Burton stick with the same starting 11 which won 5-0 at Weymouth in midweek.
