Burton Albion FC vs Plymouth Argyle preview - Brewers begin life after Rowett

Mike Whitlow will take charge of Burton when Plymouth visit the Pirelli Stadium, as Albion begin life after Gary Rowett.

Whitlow, in control on a interim basis following Rowett's move to become Birmingham's new boss, will have Stuart Beavon and Alex MacDonald available after the pair served one-match bans at Stevenage last weekend.

However, George Taft (hamstring) John Mousinho (calf) and Callum McFadzean (broken foot) will remain on the sidelines.

Whitlow has the likes of Robbie Weir, Darragh Lenihan, Liam Slade and Marcus Harness to call on should he wish to make changes to Rowett's final starting line-up.

Plymouth have no fresh injury worries as they look to extend their unbeaten run.

The Pilgrims are unbeaten in six games, having won five and kept five clean sheets during that run, and they will be boosted by appearance of Booby Reid in their starting line-up after the Bristol City midfielder agreed an extension to his loan deal that initially expired after last Saturdays' 3-0 win over Cheltenham.

Deane Smalley staked his claim for a starting place with a hat-trick in a midweek Devon Bowl victory over Exmouth but it is likely that the former Oxford man will have to settle for a place on the bench once more.

Despite their eye-catching run, Argyle have won just three out of their seven League Two away games this season.
