Burton without Liam Boyce for Accrington clash

Burton manager Nigel Clough will be forced into a change for the visit of Accrington as Liam Boyce is away on international duty.

The Brewers boss changed his formation last week to accommodate the Northern Ireland striker in a front two and was rewarded with a goal from both his forwards in a 3-0 win over Blackpool, but will have to find a replacement this weekend.

However, Kieran Wallace and Will Miller will hope to retain their places after being drafted into the new-look line-up.

Scott Fraser could get a recall after being on the bench last weekend while Ben Fox (hamstring) is working his way back to fitness.

Accrington goalkeeper Dimitar Evtimov and striker Paul Smyth are absent as they are on international duty with Bulgaria and Northern Ireland respectively.

Midfielder Seamus Conneely, out since mid-February with a groin problem, played 30 minutes for the youth team in midweek and is set to return to the squad.

Liam Gibson has missed the last two matches and a setback in training means he will not feature.

Ross Sykes is also not ready to return after five weeks out with a groin injury.
