Recap: Burton Albion 1-0 Derby County

As historic days go in Burton Albion's first ever Championship season, this might just be the biggest of the lot - Derby County at the Pirelli Stadium. For the first time since the Brewers' inception in 1950, the two clubs - separated by just a few miles of the A38 - are set to meet in a competitive fixture, with the Rams visiting the Pirelli Stadium tonight (7.45pm) in front of the Sky Sports cameras. Albion and Derby have endured markedly different starts to the 2016/17 season, even if they sit just a point apart in the table after four games. While Nigel Clough's Brewers have scored nine and conceded nine in amassing four points from a victory over Sheffield Wednesday and a draw at Blackburn Rovers last weekend - they also suffered odd-goal defeats to Nottingham Forest and Bristol City - the Rams have found the net just once so far, but sit on five points, having conceded just twice in a 2-0 defeat at Barnsley. There are so many intriguing sub-plots to tonight's clash - Clough pitting his Albion side against his former employers, several Brewers stars facing off against the club they once played for - and it is set to be a memorable night. We'll bring you all the build-up to the clash throughout the day and the team news, before providing live text commentary of the game.
