Town boss Kieran McKenna makes three changes to his team for this evening’s game at Burton Albion.

Greg Leigh, Sone Aluko and Kayden Jackson come into the starting line-up with Leif Davis and Conor Chaplin dropping to the bench and Wes Burns absent from the 18.

Town could start with Marcus Harness moving to wing-back with Jackson and Aluko playing off central striker Freddie Ladapo.

Burton make two changes from the team which drew 4-4 at Accrington on Saturday with Terry Taylor and Deji Oshilaja coming into the side for one-time Town academy youngster Calum Butcher, who drops out of the 18, and striker Victor Adeboyejo, who is on the bench.

Burton: Sinisalo, Brayford (c), Borthwick-Jackson, Oshilaja, Hughes, Ahadme, Keillor-Dunn, Smith, Shaughnessy, Taylor, Hamer. Subs: Garratt, Powell, Onyango, Adeboyejo, Lakin, Moult, Castro.

Town: Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Leigh, Evans, Morsy (c), Aluko, Harness, Jackson, Ladapo. Subs: Hladky, Burgess, Davis, Vincent-Young, Edwards, Chaplin, John-Jules. Referee: Ben Toner (Lancashire).

PrrrromotionGiven added 19:05 - Aug 16 Got to put at least two past their defence given their shocking performances thus far. Should be enough to see us to 3 points...

Stato added 19:06 - Aug 16 Chaplin was our most fouled player last season by a mile and gets dropped against a side who we expect to be physical which seems strange especially after a performance on Saturday which many of us rated as MoM. He must wonder what he has to do to please KM as never been given a run of starts. Obviously we don't have all the facts as fans that the coaches have but seems a strange one.

Tractorboy1985 added 19:08 - Aug 16 Pleased for Leigh and Aluko to get a start! Jackson… this is your last chance lad! McKenna has shown so much faith in you.. now it's time to deliver! Burns must have picked up a knock Saturday! Shame! For me its KVY for Burns.. weird line up but in McKenna we trust.. let's keep the momentum going! COYB

Edmundo added 19:08 - Aug 16 Clearly some fatigues here given the heat on Saturday. Good idea to rest a few: it's a squad game these days.

therein61 added 19:11 - Aug 16 It is after all a squad game and those coming in have a chance to push for a place in what will be a test of our ability to stand up and be counted as Burton certainly like impose themselves on the opposition C.O.Y.B.

NthQldITFC added 19:13 - Aug 16 Football's not really about a run of starts these days BossMan, it's much more of a squad game.

SickParrot added 19:13 - Aug 16 As Burns isn't in the 18 (he must be injured) I'm surprised that Chaplin isn't starting, especially if Harness is moving to wingback. I think we may now struggle to create chances. Hope I'm wrong.

gosblue added 19:24 - Aug 16 Very fluid line-up I think we could see a back 4, 3 or even 2 at various parts of the game. On paper it looks 4-2-1-2-1 but who knows? Probably a back 3 as usual.

jas0999 added 19:26 - Aug 16 Let's hope there isn't an offer in for Burns … Still looks a very strong team, more than good enough to get three points.

blueboy1981 added 20:40 - Aug 16 Here we go again Squad Rotation in Division 3 … !!! Why change almost a Third of a Winning Team at this Level ?? - it's not the Premiership, and even they rarely do it.

BeattiesBackPocket added 20:50 - Aug 16 Good to see Leigh get a chance, shame burns has a niggle, however I don't understand Chaplin not playing he was awesome at the weekend and for me should be one of the first names on the sheet.

Linkboy13 added 21:45 - Aug 16 Unbeaten start to the season and still people find something to moan about they will be calling for McKenna's head next. Some on here are living in the dark ages the days are gone when you play the same team every week. Regardless of tonight's result expect changes on Saturday Chaplin , Burns and Davis will be back unless they are injured.
