Team news
Robins at full strength Cheltenham have a clean bill of health as they look to get their npower League Two title challenge back on track with victory over Burton.
The Robins sit one point and a place below table-topping Swindon as they prepare to tackle the Brewers.
Striker Jeff Goulding and defender Steve Elliott returned from injury for the midweek goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon and, barring any further setbacks, the duo should make the starting XI.
Jack Butland made a successful return between the sticks after returning to the club on loan from Birmingham and ought to keep Scott Brown on the bench again.
In a further boost to squad morale, Marlon Pack has been nominated for the League Two Player of the Year Award for his exploits in the Robins midfield this season.
Patrick Ada is expected to be included in the Burton squad.
Ada, who played in League Two last season with Crewe, has been training with Albion recently after being released by SPL club Kilmarnock in January and the defender signed a short-term deal until the end of the season on Thursday.
Despite Burton's poor defensive record - no clean sheet in 14 matches since the start of November - boss Paul Peschisolido is reluctant to break up the central partnership being forged by Ryan Austin and Nathan Stanton, who have started the last four games.
However, there could be an opportunity for Ada to make his full debut in the holding midfield role if Jack Dyer fails to recover from a toe injury he sustained against Rotherham.
Cheltenham vs Burton Albion

Robins winger marks home bow with goal Jermaine McGlashan struck his first goal for Cheltenham as the Cotswolds club maintained their title hopes with a convincing 2-0 victory.
The former Aldershot midfielder, making his first home start for the Robins, collected a fifth-minute pass from Josh Low before cutting inside his marker and placing his shot beyond goalkeeper Ross Atkins from 20 yards out.
Sido Jombati netted a second 17 minutes from time, turning home a corner that Jimmy Spencer had headed back into the area.
McGlashan was certainly Cheltenham's star turn and in a dazzling first-half display he dragged another chance inches wide before earning the Robins a penalty. However, Atkins palmed away Jeff Goulding's spot kick.
Burton did have chances and the home side were indebted to keeper Jack Butland. First-half injury time saw him save well from Andres Gurrieri and there was another excellent stop midway through the second period to deny Adam Bolder.
