Blackpool

Barnsley play host to Blackpool at their Oakwell on day 27 of the current Championship campaign. The Tykes were not in action in midweek as their clash with Stoke City was postponed due to COVID-19 outbreak at the Yorkshire club.

Stoke City welcome Preston to their Bet365 Stadium in the first game of the year. The Potters aim to kick off 2022 in style, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side.
