Burton Albion could be a potential banana skin for Liverpool.
Just 2 years ago they were playing in League Two but won successive back to back promotions to League One and then to Championship. Pundits were predicting them to be the whipping boys of the Championship and return to League One end of this season but they surprised everyone last week when they almost upset Nottingham Forest with their brand of football. They eventually lost 3-4 due to an unlucky fluke goal. Nigel Clough has molded Burton into a compact and cohesive team and now pundits are predicting them to be the "Leicester" of the Championship.
