Team news
Robins manager Mark Yates is hoping that Julian Alsop (calf injury) and Ashley Eastham (family reasons), who both missed the weekend match at Bournemouth, will be available again. Loan signing Matt Thornhill (hamstring) remains out but it is hoped that he will be fit for Saturday's trip to Barnet.
Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido has named an unchanged side for the last three games as the Brewers have gone four matches unbeaten. Long-serving captain Darren Stride, defenders Richard Jackson and Paul Boertien and midfielder Michael Simpson are the Burton players on the injured list.
