Preview: Leeds United vs. Barnsley

Leeds vs. Barnsley

Barnsley manager Danny Wilson has the opportunity to make a statement on his return to the club with a visit to Yorkshire rivals Leeds United.

Wilson has been appointed as the club's new boss after first leaving Oakwell 15 years ago, and he will be after an immediate response from the Tykes, who currently sit bottom of the Championship table.

Leeds go into the fixture after recording four victories from their last six matches, and that run of form has seen them sneak into a playoff place.

Boss Brian McDermott will be hoping that striker Ross McCormack can continue his hot streak in front of goal after netting 11 goals in his last seven matches.
