Burton (h) pre-match thread

Strong team, get the tie won so we can play the kids in the 2nd leg. Would like to see Garcia get some game time

Sandler playing tonight in U21 vs Dale - so not in squad for tomorrow

Won 2-4 after being 2-0 down at half time.

We should win this tie possibly in this first leg,but I take nothing for granted and although a league lower burton,remember Bristol city last year which was a hard enough tie..

Pep in the embargoed pre match presser vs Burton H:

“I prefer to try and do as well as we can,
and I like to be in the four competitions for as long possible,” Pep said.

“In the cup competitions, we take it seriously.
Versus Rotherham we played with nine players who didn’t play against Liverpool,
but it was still a good selection.

“In many ways it’s perfect - 70 minutes for Kevin on Sunday,
and he can try and play longer next time. That is great.

“It is essential to have a strong squad to compete on all fronts,
because without quality you cannot win one, never mind four.

Not bad considering the gate at their last home game was 3,577, it's a midweek game and people are skint after Christmas.

What’s the expected attendance for this game ?

What’s the expected attendance for this game ?

IF the online ticket site is accurate about 38k sold so far (incl Burton) but I am a bit suspicious as to whether it's accurate as 48 hours ago almost the whole stadium was available.

I'll go to the foot of our stairs, if we need to go to penalty's....

I think Dave might get in for de bruyne in this one. De bruyne in for wolves on Monday.
