Burton will be without defensive duo John Brayford and Kyle McFadzean for Wednesday's clash at home to Fulham.

Brayford suffered ligament damage in Saturday's win at QPR and will be sidelined for six weeks while McFadzean, who sat out the trip to Loftus Road, will remain in the treatment room for two more weeks.

Defender Tom Naylor is fit after sitting out at the weekend with a knock.

Saturday's victory was Burton's first in five games during 2017 but they have not recorded successive victories all season.

Floyd Ayite is pushing for a return to the Fulham line-up after his run-out as a late substitute in Sunday's FA Cup thrashing of Hull.
