Preview: Barnsley vs. Birmingham City

Barnsley recorded their first win in 11 games on Saturday after they secured a 2-1 victory over Millwall.

It took the Tykes to the brink of escaping the relegation zone and they will be looking to make it back-to-back triumphs against Birmingham City, who they beat 5-0 earlier in the season.

Manager Keith Hill is likely to be without defender Martin Cranie due to an ankle injury.

Birmingham City manager Lee Clark could name the majority of the youngsters that he selected for his side's 2-2 draw with Burnley on Saturday.

As many as six teenagers began that match that made it four games without a win for Birmingham.

Clark could be boosted by the return of defender Paul Robinson.
