Prediction: 1-1
Stoke City
After surviving lower-league side Barrow in the FA Cup round 3, Barnsley will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Stoke in the Championship round 24. The Tykes are on an eight-game winless run in the English second tier, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Both Halme and Oulare are sidelined with injuries, while Carlton Morris should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace as a substitute in the FA Cup triumph.
The Potters, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Leyton Orient. Stoke City, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. All Sawyers, Thompson, Souttar, Powell, and Bursik should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
