Free-scoring strike duo Matthew Barnes-Homer and Justin Richards are set to be rested, giving Darryl Knights and Stefan Moore the chance to impress in attack.

The likes of Michael Bowler, David McDermott, Dean Bennett and goalkeeper Dean Coleman are also likely to be used at the Pirelli Stadium, as Harriers look to progress through a tough cup test against fellow Blue Square Premier opposition.

Yates said: "It is a big game for a few players tonight. There will be guys who haven't been playing starting the game. It is not a reserve team we are putting out, it is just a change of side.

"We have got a talented squad here and I am not afraid to pick any of them for big games. Whoever plays, I expect us to go there and get a result. Burton are a good side and it will be a good test.

"I am sure Burton will not take us lightly, as we have already taken a point from them earlier in the season. I am not going down there to waste a night, I am going down there to win.

"This is as big a game as any other we have played this season."
