Louis Reed and Josh Knight can expect to return in place of NIall Mason and Alex Woodyard after missing last night’s (November 19) FA Cup win over Stevenage.

On-loan Leicester player Knight missed the Stevenage match because of a slight muscle issue, but he should be available for the Burton game.

Reed was rested rather than dropped for that game as Ferguson wanted to see Mason in a midfield role.

Veteran midfielder George Boyd has seen a specialist about his knee injury and the diagnosis was better than expected.

It’s a nerve problem, although Boyd, who has missed the last three Posh matches, is still not expected to play against Burton.
