Burton Albion have spent just 82 minutes in front during league matches this season, and they will be hoping to improve that statistic when they travel to Bristol City on Friday night (7:45pm).

It’s been a tough campaign for the Brewers, scoring just six goals in 11 league games - with the last one coming over a month ago in the 2-1 home win over Fulham.

Three of those goals put them in front in a match, but only for a short time.

They were in the lead against Birmingham City for 24 minutes, and against Fulham on two occasions - once for 19 minutes and again for another 39 minutes.
