BURTON Albion could be all but safe by 5pm tomorrow - or plunged back into the League One drop zone.

Gary: It's no time to change

But manager Gary Bowyer insists that neither that knowledge, nor the fact that direct relegation rivals Bristol Rovers will play at lunchtime tomorrow will affect his and the players' approach to their game against Cambridge United at the Pirelli Stadium (3pm).

If Rovers were to lose to Reading - who are vying for the last play-off place - and Burton were to beat Cambridge, the Gas would need to turn around a goal difference which is already 11 worse than Burton's in their one remaining game, while needing Albion to lose both of their remaining fixtures.

The Brewers' survival in those circumstances would be as close to certain as you could get.
