How will it go? Tough one to call, but a draw looks the most likely outcome - Andy Stockhausen

Words of wisdom: "I don't score that many but, when I get one, another always seems to follow soon after." - Jamie McCombe reflects on Tuesday's headed goal against Plymouth Argyle.

Just a thought: Tykes midfielder Anderson De Silva was a transfer target for City during the summer.

Fancy a flutter? Bet365 offer Barnsley to win at 11/8, with City 23/10. Blue Square lay Jamie McCombe at 33/1 to score the first goal, but Ladbrokes' 8/1 price on a goalless draw looks tempting.
