Elliott Bennett and Aiden O'Brien remain out injured for the home side. Jonny Smith is back available after serving a three-match ban, while Sam Winnall is pushing for a first league start this term after netting at ex-club Sheffield Wednesday in the EFL Trophy.
Shrewsbury have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches against Burton in all competitions. Burton are undefeated in their last 5 away matches against Shrewsbury in all competitions.
Shrewsbury conceded late on to lose at Port Vale last time out, but it's still been a promising opening few months of the season for the hosts. That's because the Shrews are two points behind the playoff places and should have enough to get back to winning ways here. It was ninth time lucky for Burton, who finally collected their first victory of the campaign at Exeter last weekend. The Brewers are still bottom of League One, but maximum points will put them within touching distance of safety. 2:0
