Sports Mole previews the Championship encounter between struggling Barnsley and Leeds United.

Barnsley welcome Leeds United to Oakwell this Saturday as they attempt to climb their way out of the relegation zone while searching for a new manager.

The Tykes currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table on 21 points and even a victory over Leeds will be unable to pull them out of the drop zone.

The home side could have been heading into the clash with Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Terry Butcher but following talks, the 54-year-old has opted to stay at the Scottish club.

Meanwhile, Leeds sit just two points away from a place in the playoffs and manager Neil Warnock will be urging his side to snatch all three points on Saturday.

The home side could line up with David Perkins and Stephen Dawson holding the midfield, while Leeds are likely to rely on El Hadji Diouf, Luciano Becchio and Ross McCormack as a forward three.
