Burton v Aston Villa team news
Burton: John-Joe O'Toole is the only confirmed absentee after being sent off in the season opener at the weekend.
Colin Daniel is tipped to replace him in defence with a reshuffle of the backline.
Aston Villa: No issues other than long-term absentees Wesley and Tom Heaton.
Smith could be tempted to field a strong XI given their next game isn't until next Monday.
Our prediction: Burton v Aston Villa
Fitness is key in the early stages of the season for both teams. For that reason, Villa boss Dean Smith may be keen to give some of his first-team stars a chance to build their sharpness as opposed to resting them.
Burton are a solid League One unit, but there are fears for the club's future on the field as cost-cutting measures led to Clough's departure.
Villa should get the job done smoothly here.
Our prediction: Burton 1-3 Aston Villa
(Aston Villa to win 3-1: 12/1 at bet365)
