Nigel Clough, Burton's coach, said scoring a goal against Manchester City would be a "fantastic achievement" after the 9-0 loss of the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Etihad .
Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, will send his players looking to replicate the professional performance that they have presented in front of their own fans last week. "The approach is to improve, every match can help us improve what we want to do," he said.
Benjamin Mendy is back in the team after a long absence due to injury, while Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden will be present, but the match is too early for Vincent Kompany.

HALF-TIME
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
Yes, it's not a bad half for Burton, considering they were four goals behind at this point in the first leg.
Sergio Aguero gave the advantage to City after 26 minutes of light play.

How Manchester City took the lead
SUBS
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
41 minutes: Ben Turner's play is over and he leaves the field to be replaced by Reece Hutchinson.
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
37 minutes: Ooooh, what could have been. Boyce seems to be played on goal, expect Burton to play in Manchester City and what would normally happen at goal would not be. Muric gets out of his field and clears the ball before galloping on the front.
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
32 minutes: Muric almost embarrbaded with a very casual shoulder drop to move the ball to his right foot under pressure from Harness, apparently forgetting how close he is to the goal line. Danger announced and it clears.
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
30 min: How does Burton react, I hear you ask. Well, the local team has a lot of interest in giving the ball to Miller on the edge of the box. After settling down, he tries a speculative effort to surprise Muric, much like Zinchenko's goal in the first leg, but shoot at goal.
GOAL!
Burton 0-1 Manchester City (0-10)
26 minutes: Aguero scores!
The top three players on the field combine to give Manchester City the advantage!
De Bruyne launches with a defensive defense pbad to Mahrez, who keeps the ball for a few seconds before straightening him to Aguero so he can convert easily.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
23 minutes: A quarter of the game and you have to say that's exactly what Burton would have liked this game to be, much less a goal.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
19 minutes: The harness puts pressure on Zinchenko while City is under pressure from Burton's press, yes, it's in the right order. Zinchenko is initially beaten but recovers well and recovers the ball while Harness tries to go to the surface with the ball.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
Strong pose, that. He thought about it for a moment.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
18 minutes: Mahrez gets another shot and shoots for the second time in about five minutes. McCrory certainly earns his salary by dealing, or rather trying to deal with him.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
14 minutes: Delph suffered a lack of concentration and conceded a foul on Boyce in a wide area of attack and Burton almost scored! Boyce goes to the near post and tries to convert the center of the center down by dragging the ball as he turns on the spot. It almost disappeared, but the whole rhythm of the ball was reduced when Muric put his long frame on the ground to prevent the ball from going into the lower corner.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
13 minutes: De Bruyne meets some tasty challenges while Guardiola looks from his borrowed bus shelter.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
5 minutes: Last comments: watching De Bruyne and Zinchenko play on the same pitch is like those rare occasions when the Fabio twins lined up for Manchester United.
Whatever the case may be, Mahrez gets closer after recovering the ball in the crossfield of Delphi, and then triggers an effort at a narrow angle beyond the far post under Collins' gaze.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
9 minutes: Mahrez spins, turns and turns again to make room for a center from Aguero, who tries to pbad a pbad at the last post, but Collins scores the goal for Burton. The first action for a goalkeeper you suspect of being in a busy evening. Just an intuition.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
5 minutes: Burton is doing better than he was this time at the Etihad, five minutes later, Gabriel Jesus had already given the advance to City!
This time, Burton has started pretty well. They defended themselves well as a group and threatened counter-attacks through Templeton on the left, although they are still afraid to cause serious problems. It's a start.
Burton 0-0 Manchester City (0-9)
3 minutes: De Bruyne seems to play a slightly deeper role in the midfield, it seems that Delph and Foden will be the legs before him in the attacks.
