Match Preview
Penn inked in for Brewers return Burton will have Russell Penn available again for the visit of fellow strugglers Northampton. The midfielder has completed a two-match suspension after accumulating 10 yellows cards this season and will be a strong contender to go straight back into the starting line-up following the 4-1 home defeat to Barnet on Saturday. Club captain Darren Moore and fellow centre-half Tom Parkes were on the bench for that game after serving bans of their own and will also come into contention for recalls following a performance that boss Paul Peschisolido described as "embarrassing" and "shambolic". Full-back Scott Malone is fit again after a groin problem and is another option for Peschisolido. Shaun Harrad, still Albion`s top scorer, returns to the Pirelli Stadium after making the switch to Northampton during the January transfer window. Burton are just two points above the drop zone following the defeat to relegation rivals Barnet. Victory on Tuesday night will lift Albion above the Cobblers. Northampton captain Andy Holt will again miss out for the crunch trip. Holt has missed the last three games with a knee injury and will not travel as the Cobblers look for a first win in 13 games to ease their growing relegation fears. Manager Gary Johnson has yet to win since taking charge, and defeat at the Pirelli Stadium would see the Brewers leapfrog them into 21st in the table. Striker Leon McKenzie was back on the bench at Accrington on Saturday after a knee problem of his own but has hardly trained and will not start. Midfielder Ryan Gilligan has had surgery on a long-standing ankle problem and is sidelined for the rest of the season and striker Billy McKay is out for another month after dislocating his elbow.

Match Report
Strugglers share spoils Relegation strugglers Burton and Northampton shared the points in a tense and scrappy 1-1 battle at the Pirelli Stadium. Guillem Bauza gave Northampton the lead but their winless run was extended to 14 games by Aaron Webster's equaliser which edged Burton three points away from the danger zone. Former Burton man Shaun Harrad had a shot tipped round the post by Adam Legzdins but it was fellow striker Bauza who broke the deadlock in the 39th minute. The Spaniard cleverly exchanged passes on the edge of the area with Josh Walker before stabbing a six-yard shot past Legzdins. But Burton were behind for only seven minutes before Webster grabbed a close-range equaliser after a Sam Winnall free-kick fell at his feet. Defences dominated in a scrappy start to the second half, with shots from home skipper John McGrath and visiting midfielder Walker failing to trouble either keeper. Harrad went close to putting the visitors back in front with a curling 20-yard shot against the angle of post and crossbar in the 80th minute. Burton tried to rally after a spell of Northampton pressure but Calvin Zola dragged their only chance wide.
