Barnsley host Reading at the Oakwell Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to bounce back from their last defeat.
Sheffield United condemned them to a 2-0 loss before the international break, their first in three league games.
They widened their gap from safety to five points, having entered the matchday with just two, as Reading, who're just above them in the table, won their match against Blackburn Rovers.
A 78th-minute strike from Josh Laurent secured all three points for the Royals, their first win in five games.

Barnsley vs Reading Prediction
Reading will hope to put more daylight between them and the relegation zone with a win here, but the Tykes can be tough to beat on home soil.
They're currently five consecutive league games without a defeat at the Oakwell and we expect their run to continue with a draw here.
Prediction: Barnsley 1-1 Reading
