Simon Davey's first team selection as Darlington manager sees only one change with Mor Diop dropping out of the starting line-up for today's game at Burton Albion.

The striker has been unable to shake off the hamstring injury sustained in last week's win at Shrewsbury Town, so Curtis Main comes in.

Main will be hoping for a repeat of last November's match between the sides at The Northern Echo Arena when the teenager scored the only goal.

Defender Richie Byrne returns to the squad after recovering from a hamstring strain and is on the bench while also among the substitutes is youth team striker Michael Smith.

On the bench for Paul Peschisolido's side is former Middlesbrough keeper who, at 46, is the oldest player in the league.
