Gillingham have doubts over defender John Nutter, who picked up a thigh strain during the 3-1 win against Accrington last weekend.
Fellow defenders Tony Sinclair and Danny Jackman (both ankle) also remain doubtful for the game.
Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido told BBC Radio Derby: "It's nice to be back at home with five games to come [at the Pirelli] after such a poor away record.
"Maybe the confidence from the next four or five home games and winning them will give us a boost.
"I've got to play a team that I think will get results but I don't have the squad to make changes, even though we've been poor away from home."
Gilllingham manager Andy Hessenthaler told BBC Radio Kent: "We had Burton watched in midweek, and we know their manager has been switching the players around to find the right combination.
"It's going to be a big game for both teams - they've got a lot of matches in hand and want to get out of the bottom two.
"They can go on a winning run after we've beaten them on Saturday, and they should be fine.
"We're expecting them to bring back big Darren Moore in defence to mark our big man (Adebayo Akinfenwa). I wouldn't like to get in between those two."
