Burton Albion boss Nigel Clough is keen to keep expectations in-check after reaching the Carabao Cup semis.

Clough guided League One's Burton into the last four with victory over Middlesbrough. Jake Hesketh, on-loan from Southampton, scored the Burton winner.

Asked if they could make the final, the manager said: "Highly unlikely, when you look at the teams that are left in.

"That's just being realistic. It's highly, highly unlikely, to be in with the teams that are left in.

"We are going to enjoy this one tonight for a couple of days before we got to Luton on Saturday for as hard a game as there will be this season, and then we are going to park it and look forward to it in the New Year whenever it is, the two-legger.

"We didn't even bother looking. We are going to enjoy this one, certainly."
