Burton boss Nigel Clough believes that Gary Rowett deserves a good reception back at his old stamping ground tonight, following another ex-Brewers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, whose QPR side drew here 1-1 a month ago.
"He’ll get a great ovation," said Clough. "And he thoroughly deserves it. He played a major part, the same as Jimmy when he came back the other week. You can’t deny the role they’ve played in this club being in the Championship."
Blues
boss Gary Rowett is well aware of Burton's home pedigree, admitting:
"They've made a good strong start under Nigel. It's fantastic to see
them doing well.
"I just hope they won't be celebrating after this game. We don't want to be another notch on their bedpost."

Top of the agenda after Birmingham City made the short trip up the A38 to Burton tonight is Gary Rowett's first return to the Pirelli Stadium since for St Andrew's almost two years to the day.
He brings with him five other former Brewers employees - his three backroom men, Kevin Summerfield, Mark Sale and Kevin Poole, plus midfielder Jacques Maghoma and Adam Legzdin.
