Burton Albion go in search of their second league win of the season as promotion contenders Fulham arrive at the Pirelli Stadium today (3pm).

The Brewers recovered well from their thrashing at the hands of Leeds United seven days ago by securing a goalless draw at Norwich City on Tuesday night.

Slavisa Jokanovic's Cottagers, meanwhile, were in action a day later than Albion, beating Hull City 2-1 for their first home win of the campaign.

This fixture ended 2-0 to the visitors last term - and Nigel Clough is hopeful his side can find the quality to match a Cottagers side he feels is right up there with the best in the division.
