Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is expected to make changes to his starting line-up for the return to Sky Bet League 1 action against Coventry.

After making seven alterations to his team at Doncaster in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in midweek, Hasselbaink's selection on Sunday should closely resemble the side which won at Shrewsbury last weekend.

Shane Cansdell-Sherriff (foot) will be assessed but fellow defenders Phil Edwards and Damien McCrory are likely to be recalled. Leading scorer Abdenasser El Khayati will start with Timmy Thiele and Stuart Beavon likely to provide support in attack.

Hasselbaink, who remains without Zeli Ismail (knee) and Darius Charles (leg) for a little while longer, must decide whether he brings back Jon McLaughlin or sticks with Remi Matthews in goal.

Coventry remain without long-term absentees James Maddison and Jordan Willis.

International duty also means Adam Armstrong (England Under-19s), Bryn Morris (England U20s) and George Thomas (Wales U19s) are unavailable.

Beyond those five, manager Tony Mowbray has a fully-fit squad from which to choose.
