John Brayford set to back up for Burton in crunch clash with Middlesbrough

Fit-again John Brayford could make his second successive start when relegation-threatened Burton take on Middlesbrough on Easter Monday.

Brayford returned from over a month out with a calf injury as the Brewers lost 3-1 to Cardiff on Good Friday, playing for 76 minutes before being taken off.

And the defender could be in the starting line-up once again when play-off hopefuls Boro visit.

Burton are in desperate need of points after Sunderland’s emphatic victory over Derby on Friday saw them drop to the foot of the Championship table with seven games remaining.

Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis could have an unchanged squad for the trip.

Grant Leadbitter returned to the starting XI on Friday as Boro were beaten 2-1 by leaders Wolves, replacing Jonny Howson in the line-up.

Howson was a second-half substitute against Wolves and is available to start if Pulis opts to make changes.

Boro currently sit sixth in the table, level on points with seventh-place Bristol City so may require a win at the Pirelli Stadium to stay in the play-off positions.
