Live: Aston Villa v Burton Albion

It does not get much bigger than a trip to Aston Villa for Burton Albion's first Boxing Day clash in the Championship. The Brewers head to a packed Villa Park on the back of three consecutive defeats - but they pushed title favourites Newcastle United all the way at the Pirelli Stadium last time out. Villa, meanwhile, have recovered from a sluggish start to the season under Roberto di Matteo and have moved into play-off contention since the arrival of Steve Bruce, who won 1-0 at QPR on December 18. So after the entertainment of Christmas Day, can Albion make December 26 2016 a day to remember for their travelling faithful? We'll have all the build-up and team news from Villa Park, before bringing you minute-by-minute coverage of the clash, as Nigel Clough's men look to earn their first away win of the season.
