Burton will be without loan keeper Jordan Pickford after the teenager was recalled to Sunderland to cover for injuries.
The 19 year old has played 11 times for the Brewers this season and was due to remain at the club until December 9th, but is required by his parent club. His departure leaves no.2 Dean Lyness to make his first appearance in two months, with 50 year old Kevin Poole filling the subs bench.
Rowett told the Burton Mail he was taking Sunday's game seriously:
“While we want to get through to the next round, it’s a bit of a break away from the pressures of consistently trying to get three points in League Two. It’ll be a break from the ups and downs of League Two, where we’ve been winning two or three and then losing one.
“That said, we won’t approach it any differently.”
Burton will be without suspended defender Shane Cansdell-Sheriff, with expected replacement Zander Diamond facing a late fitness test with a knee injury.
Veteran midfielder Rory Delap remains injured, having missed the last two months, but Alex McDonald has resumed training after picking up a slight injury last weekend.
