JJ is back for trip to Bolton

BURTON Albion are braced for another big game away at Bolton Wanderers this evening.

- By DAN NEWBOULD

Bolton go into the tie in good form having beaten Leyton Orient 2-1 with a stoppage time Mason Burstow penalty which lifted them all the way up into third just six points off the automatic promotion spots while Burton's Thursday night defeat to Lincoln and the results over the rest of the match day left them in 20th and a point clear of the bottom four with all to play for at both ends of the table.

Team news wise, JJ McKiernan is set to return having missed Thursday night's game against his parent club with a free week of work to boost his fitness under his belt after two goals in two games since his return. Jake Beesley is also a man in form having scored against Huddersfield and Lincoln since he came back into the side. Beesley scored twice in the reverse fixture at the Pirelli in October and Fabio Tavares got the other in a 3-0 win.
