Daniel Farke: "Cameron Jerome and Wes Hoolahan are both back in team training." #ncfc
DF: "Marco Stiepermann had a groin problem. We decided to sort that out. He will return when he's 100 per cent comfortable, but not this week." #ncfc
DF: "Grant Hanley would have been able to play at Birmingham if he'd had to come on. He's available." #ncfc
DF: "It's a nice feeling after a win. You're looking forward to the next game. We travelled back in a good mood. We want that feeling again." #ncfc
DF: "It will be a similar task to Birmingham. They are in a relegation battle. The pressure is on them. They have to win points." #ncfc
DF: "We go there being really respectful. It will be a hard game. From the first game, they fight. They don't get nervous in tough periods." #ncfc
DF: "Burton have had several clean sheets recently. It will be a complicated task and we have to be 100 per cent focused." #ncfc
DF: "In the home game, we had just four or five chances but didn't take them. That's our topic. We have to be clinical." #ncfc
DF: "January is two or three days away and you always have rumours. That's normal. It's part of the business. I don't comment on speculation." #ncfc
DF: "I just concentrate on bringing consistency to our performances and results. We have a lot of games." #ncfc
DF: "Remi Matthews and Ben Godfrey are both good guys, good characters. It's important they get minutes." #ncfc
DF: "We want them to return in the summer with a good rhythm and with several experiences. They're important." #ncfc
DF: "Sean Raggett will return soon. My first thought is to work with him." #ncfc
DF: "We have a lot of load at the moment. It's the busiest period of the season." #ncfc
DF: "It's good for a team when there aren't too many changes but in this period you have to rotate. I have to be smart in my choices." #ncfc
DF: "There's no reason to change after the Birmingham performance, but with so many games, it's tricky. It wouldn't be smart to play the same team in every game." #ncfc
DF: "We have many options right now and that helps. Although you are tempted to go on without changes after a success, we have to rotate." #ncfc
DF: "We won't risk injuries to important players. We have to find the balance." #ncfc
That's all from City's Head Coach, with @alextettey86 next to face the media. #ncfc
Alex Tettey: "It was nice to play after two months of being injured. I've just focused on being fit." #ncfc
AT: "Some games we played well but didn't get the result. I think the midfield did well. We had some good performances." #ncfc
AT: "We didn't always get the results we wanted. Last season we went to Burton and lost. It will be hard." #ncfc
AT: "We need to be fully prepared. Playing Saturday then Monday is tough, but that's the way it is. You have to accept it." #ncfc
AT: "I will channel all the energy I have in my body. The way I play, I need to be recovered to do my best." #ncfc
AT: "If I'm not at my best... why be out there? At the moment we have to take it game-by-game." #ncfc
AT: "Can we win our next two? That would be good, but it's all about taking it game-by-game." #ncfc
AT: "It was a strange injury. I was training then felt an explosion in my calf. I know injuries happen and I know how to deal with it." #ncfc
AT: "It's done. I'm back. Now I'm focused on playing." #ncfc
AT: "When I've played, we've won a lot but it's just coincidence. It's nothing to do with me. We will win without me and lose with me." #ncfc
AT: "When I'm on the field I give more instructions now than I did before. I feel wiser and older." #ncfc
AT: "I'm not thinking about the future too much. I'm just focused on playing football. I've experienced a lot here." #ncfc
That's all from today's press conferences, with full pre-match build-up to follow across our channels! #ncfc
