Team News
Leeds United
Leeds will be without suspended midfielder Ronaldo Vieira following his dismissal in the heavy midweek defeat at Wolves. Vieira will sit out a one-game ban with Eunan O'Kane a likely replacement, although head coach Thomas Christiansen does have other options.
Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga has missed the last two games due to illness and it remains to be seen whether he can force his way back into Christiansen's plans. Christiansen must decide whether to retain Andy Lonergan in goal or reinstate Felix Wiedwald, while winger Stuart Dallas and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson are also pushing for recalls.
(other reports say Dallas out with a knock)
Barnsley
Tom Bradshaw will be assessed before the home game against Leeds after he was involved in a car accident.
Bradshaw is expected to be in contention despite sustaining a minor back injury this week after the car he was driving was hit from behind and written off. Midfielder Joe Williams will return to contention after missing the midweek home defeat to Cardiff due to a one-game ban, while defender Angus MacDonald is also expected back after a foot injury kept him out.
Forward Mamadou Thiam and defender Zeki Fryers both sustained knocks on Tuesday night and will be assessed, while winger Lloyd Isgrove (knee) has missed the last two matches.

Opta stats
Barnsley have won five of their last six home league matches against Leeds (L1), scoring 17 goals in those five victories.
None of the 30 meetings between these sides at Oakwell in all competitions has ended goalless, with 30 goals scored in the last seven matches.
Leeds have lost their three away Yorkshire derbies in 2017, losing to Barnsley in January, Huddersfield in February and Sheffield Wednesday in October.
Well it's certainly going to be a test of character for the Team, i'm really hoping they can get their confidence back , their heads up and their scoring boots on and rekindle that spark we saw against Boro, so i'm going for a 1-3 scoreline with Roofe, Cooper and Saiz (would love a clean sheet but I don't want to be unrealistic )

Great to see some resilience in defence today. Much better from the back four. Just need to hold onto the ball, slow the game down, make the opposition work for it more. I don't think Villa will be as wasteful as Barnsley.

Don't see the point in just sitting back and launching the ball forward to nobody all the time. I think we need better tactics for the last 15 minutes.

3-1 but to the home team. Hopefully Harvey Barnes starts. So too Ayling. Can’t wait to see Barnes run rings around him. Class act this lad, on loan from Leicester, will be in their first team next season.

hahahaha! Barnes is still trying to get out of Ayling's pocket and how he stayed on the pitch only the ref knows! He had two chances to send him packing but bottled both!

At the end of the day, a 2-0 win away from home against bitter rivals who normally beat us and with the form we're in, it was an excellent result/performance.

Lovely to see you too Shnupski!!
Sorry for the late contribution, Lads, I had to watch a recording of the game throughout the day.
Lovely to beat a team that's been such a bogey for us since that fateful day a few years ago when I met a kid from Barnsley on a flight from the US to London just before we were scheduled to play them. It was 2009, I think.

Yeah snapski is ok! Just banter mate! Good luck rest of the season.
Barnes was a lucky lad though. Should have walked after that rugby tackle!
