Looking to snap their four-game losing streak, Stoke City visit the Oakwell Ground Stadium to face Barnsley on Tuesday.
The hosts were denied a third victory on the trot last time out and will be looking to quickly bounce back to winning ways.
Barnsley suffered a bump in the road in their surge from the relegation zone as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Derby County.
Prior to that, they claimed a 2-0 victory away to Hull City on February 22, before seeing off Middlesbrough 3-2 in a thrilling contest four days later.
With 23 points from 34 games, Barnsley are currently bottom but one in the EFL Championship table, six points off Reading just outside the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Stoke City continue to struggle for form as they were beaten 1-0 by Blackpool on home turf last time out.
They have now lost each of their most recent four games across all competitions, while failing to win any of their last six since a 3-0 win over Swansea City on February 8.
With 44 points from 34 games, Stoke City are currently 16th in the league table, level on points with Swansea City.
