Preston North End will visit Oakwell Stadium on Saturday for their Championship tie with Barnsley. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Barnsley will be wanting a better result here after the 0-2 Championship loss in their previous game against Blackpool. It’s our opinion that The Tykes look set to opt for a 3-5-2 formation for the game and select Jack Walton, Jasper Moon, Liam Kitching, Mads Juel Andersen, Callum Brittain, Matthew Wolfe, Callum Styles, William Hondermarck, Clarke Oduor, Cauley Woodrow and Carlton Morris.
Barnsley boss Poya Asbaghi will be grateful not to have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match owing to a fully healthy squad ready to go. Callum Brittain will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How Barnsley could look vs Preston North End
After being beaten in their last game against Blackburn Rovers in Championship action, Preston North End and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. We are inclined to think that The Lilywhites could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system by sending out Daniel Iversen, Sepp van den Berg, Liam Lindsay, Patrick Bauer, Brad Potts, Alistair McCann, Daniel Johnson, Alan Browne, Greg Cunningham, Emil Riis Jakobsen and Cameron Archer.
From a largely healthy group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe to be concerned with. Matthew Olosunde (Groin Injury) misses out for this game.
