Preview: Barnsley vs. Watford

Barnsley vs. Watford

Barnsley will be hoping to move out of the Championship's bottom three when they welcome Watford to Oakwell on Saturday afternoon.

The Tykes have dropped to 23rd place in the table after losing their last two matches, the latest coming on Tuesday evening at Bournemouth.

Watford moved into sixth place in midweek after a late Lewis McGugan penalty gave them a 2-1 victory over Doncaster Rovers at Vicarage Road.

Barnsley boss David Flitcroft has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the match. Kelvin Etuhu and Chris O'Grady are expected to retain their places in attack.

Manager Gianfranco Zola could stick with the same Watford side that beat Doncaster, although Fernando Forestieri and Diego Fabbrini are pushing for starts.
