Burton Albion are in action at Highgate United tonight (7:45pm) in the second round of the Birmingham Senior Cup, with a Chris Beardsley and Nick Fenton starting for the Brewers.
It's an otherwise youthful side, with the familiar Jayden Cotterill, Jack Hallahan, Reece Hutchinson and Harry Campbell all in action at The Coppice.
The Brewers overcame Bedworth United 3-1 last time out, with Matty Lund, Ben Fox and an own goal completing the scoring on a chilly night at Bedworth. #
It's a typical November night here in the West Midlands, and you can follow every kick live here on SportMail.

Signing off from a blustery Highgate - what a final 20 minutes that was...
See you on Saturday at the Pirelli with the visit of Sunderland.
Come on you Brewers!
Full-time!
Phew!
A breathless final 20 minutes ignited a match that didn’t have an awful lot to say for itself.
Once Highgate went ahead, the Brewers never looked back and took control of the game with super-sub Shaun Barker netting and Reece Hutchinson bagging the winner.
A good run out for the younger lads, and definitely an experience that will steel them in the world of football.
Highgate United 2-3 Burton Albion.
