Burton Albion and Championship news LIVE

Burton Albion's five-game unbeaten run in the Championship came to an end on Saturday, with Brighton & Hove Albion winning 1-0 at the Pirelli Stadium. It took until the 88th minute for the dominant Seagulls to break through a depleted but resilient Brewers rearguard, Tomer Hemed slotting home from the penalty spot after Jiri Skalak was brought down by stand-in right wing-back Lee Williamson. We'll be reflecting on the game and its outcome throughout the day, bringing you reaction from Nigel Clough, Matt Palmer and the Brighton camp as Albion dropped to 17th in the Championship table. As ever, we'll also be taking a look at results elsewhere in the division, discussing which Brewers could be back fit and ready for Saturday's trip to Norwich City and just generally keeping you up-to-date with all the goings on around the second tier.

Recap: Wolves 1-1 Burton Albion

So after 15 days away, Championship football is back for Burton Albion as they travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux (3pm). Nigel Clough's side have taken seven points from the last nine available to them as they've provided themselves with a solid base in their debut second-tier campaign - and the challenge now is to see if they can build on that. That will not be an easy task this afternoon, with Walter Zenga's Wolves - one of the big spenders in the Championship transfer market - having shown some good form early on with wins over Reading and Birmingham City. They lost last time out to league leaders Huddersfield Town, and talk from the Wolves camp has been about getting back to the performance levels they showed in those wins. We'll have all the build-up and team news from Molineux as Albion return to action, before bringing you all the key moments from the game in our live text commentary.

It's almost here - Burton Albion's return to Championship action is now just a day away, with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on the horizon tomorrow. Having taken seven points from the last nine available to them, the Brewers will be looking to maintain their unbeaten run as they begin a run of three away games from the next four.

On the topic of the Terriers, we'll be looking at how David Wagner - justifiably so - won the Sky Bet Championship manager of the month award over Clough, Lee Johnson and Paul Heckingbottom, as well as building up to the Wolves game and getting an insight into the Molineux club ahead of the game.
