The first ever competitive meeting between the two sides takes place at the home of football, Deepdale, the Brewers only formed in 1950 have only been in the league since 2009 and have worked their way up to the Championship since then. Unlike some plastic clubs with rich people behind the scene they are an extremely run side who have not spent vasts amounts of money trying to buy their way up the leagues.
Now managed by Nigel Clough who returned to the club after Jimmy Floyd left in December 2015. Clough just about got them up after they stuttered in the run in and they finished second to the Pie Eaters from Wigan.
The last time I saw them Clough was also the manager in 2001 they lost a Northern Premier League game at Lancaster 1-0 also saw them when they had Ian Storey- Moore playing for them in an FA Trophy match at Chorley.
Clough has spent some money over the summerbringinging in a bit of experience in the shape of Jamie Ward, Lee Williamson, Chris O'Grady, his main purchase has been Jackson Irvine who he got from Scottish football for £330,000. Along with Williamson there are a couple of ex North Enders in the squad, Beavon and Moushino.
They started the season fairly well although defensively were slightly suspect, their last win was against Birmingham in a televised match, they have failed to score in five of the last six games and possibly the realities of how tough this division is are maybe starting to catch them up.
North End squad wise have a doubt about Gallagher, Welsh still injured and May played 70 minutes in the Lancashire cup match on Wednesday, maybe a bit to early for him though. Browne free of suspension is available. Expect us to win this although won't be easy.
Burton last three LDL Next three Rotherham H Brentford a Huddersfield H
PNE last three LWD Next three Sheffield Wed A Venky Rovers H Nottingham Forest A
