Burton Albion host Nottingham Forest today (3pm) looking to re-energise their push for Championship survival - and you can follow all the action in a big game for the Brewers here.

Albion face an out-of-form Forest side who have not won since a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers last month, with Aitor Karanka telling his side to prepare for "war" at the Pirelli Stadium.

The Brewers snapped a five-game losing streak of their own at Portman Road last week, drawing 0-0 with Ipswich Town in a game from which they probably should have garnered all three points.

Jacob Davenport is likely to start for his home Burton debut, while Liam Boyce could feature off the bench again.

As always, we'll have all the action covered, with team news, full match coverage and post-match reaction to come.

My take...

90: Full-time!

That’s all, folks. Burton’s wait for a home win continues as they draw 0-0 here at the Pirelli Stadium with Nottingham Forest.

Eric Lichaj’s first-half red card swung the game in the Brewers’ favour, but they couldn’t capitalise.

Stick around for full match reaction.

Forest break, and Tendayi Darikwa strikes a wicked effort just wide of Stephen Bywater;s right-hand post!

Sbarra fizzes a cross in, but Pantilimon can only palm it away - and Darren Bent is just inches away from getting on the end of it...

The Brewers keep coming forward...

80: Albion pushing for an opener

Nothing doing for them so far, though, but Forest are pinned back.

77: Samuelsen whips another cross in

But there’s too much curl on it, and Joe Sbarra can’t reach it at the back-post.

  • Share

75: Great cross!

But Jacob Davenport can’t find either Boyce or Bent!

It just flies past them both - agonisingly close.

  • Share

73: Big chance!

A cross falls to Bent, who has time to set himself and fire on goal - but it’s a great block by Danny Fox.

  • Share

Will the Brewers be left feeling like this at full-time?
