A place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Burton Albion and Leicester City face each other at Pirelli Stadium on Tuesday evening. Burton Albion managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last two league fixtures and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the League Cup clash against the Premier League side.
The Foxes head into the match following a historic 9-0 win over Southampton, and it is no surprise they are seen as hot favourites to win the Carabao Cup clash against the League One side. The Brewers have been impressive at the back of late, but keep a clean sheet against the high-flying Brendan Rodgers' troops is easier said than done. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced attacker Jamie Vardy, who is enjoying yet another successful season.
