Preview: Barnsley vs. Crystal Palace

Barnsley vs. Crystal Palace

Struggling Barnsley take on high-flying Crystal Palace on Tuesday in a clash that, depending on other results, could see the visitors go top of the table.

Barnsley recovered from a run of just one point from nine to record an important win at Charlton Athletic on Saturday, lifting them to 17th with some breathing room to the bottom.

Crystal Palace dropped their first points for five games with their 2-2 draw at home to Millwall at the weekend, although they are unbeaten in their last six league games.

Barnsley boss Keith Hill could stick with a similar XI to the game against Charlton, when Thomas Cywka was dangerous getting forward from midfield.

Dougie Freedman will not want to change a form team too much, however Dean Moxey will miss the game after being sent off against Millwall.
