Stimson wary of Burton threat

Gillingham boss Mark Stimson is expecting a tough test when his side host League Two outfit Burton in the FA Cup this weekend.

The Brewers famously earned a goalless draw in the third round against Manchester United before losing the replay at Old Trafford 5-0.

They have since won promotion to the Football League and Stimson is wary of their pedigree as the Gills bid to reach the third round.

Stimson said: "It's a big game and a good chance for us to go through but we won't underestimate Burton. I know quite a bit about their players and about their club.

"Hopefully we can progress because financially it could mean a hell of a lot to this club.

"The players won't be complacent because they want another Aston Villa in the next round but so will Burton."
