NIGEL CLOUGH'S BURTON ALBION ...........


.... have yet to win at home this season, but look set put that right today.

They face Southport, who are facing something of an injury crisis. New boss, Paul Cook, was struggling to put out a side on Saturday and the problem was compounded by three players picking up knocks at the weekend, all are doubts to face Albion.

Burton have played well, without getting the breaks, they suffered an injury time loss and several dubious refereeing decisions, at York City on Friday night. The previous game, saw them ahead for an hour, against league leaders Oxford, only to concede two late goals, including a hotly disputed penalty.

Clough's team are playing some very nice football and dominated the last two matches for long periods and came away pointless, they should collect the spoils this afternoon, the extra days rest, at this stage of the season, is a major advantage.

4 points Burton Albion 1.73 general......... william hill/ stan james/ blue square etc.

Back later.

Good Luck.
