New signing Stuart Giddings is one of five changes to the Darlington line-up for today's home game with Burton Albion.[LNB] For Quakers' first ever meeting with the former non-league side, manager Steve Staunton has handed a debut to left-back Giddings and first starts for striker Mor Diop and winger Nathan Mulligan.[LNB] Mulligan will be watched by Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole, who is a former Middlesbrough youth team-mate, who is at The Northern Echo Arena.[LNB] Also in the line-up is Ian Miller, who has missed two games with concussion, and Curtis Main but there is no place for striker James Collins who has been on loan from Aston Villa.[LNB] Giddings replaces Moses Barnett who has returned to Everton following the end of his one-month loan.[LNB] Quakers have named only six substitutes, despite having enough fit players to name seven on the bench.[LNB] Paul Arnison, Matty Plummer, Mark Convery and Jeff Smith, all of whom were in the squad last week at Barnet, find themselves frozen out of Staunton's plans.[LNB] Today's line-up features seven changes to the side which beat Shrewsbury four weeks ago which remains Darlington's sole league win this season.[LNB] On the bench for Burton is winger Keith Gilroy who made two appearances for Quakers during a brief stay at the end of the 2004-05 season.[LNB] Darlington : Liversedge, Barnes, Foster, Miller, Giddings, Mulligan, Davis, G Smith, Main, Thomas, Diop.
