Barnsley face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 4 of the 25 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2003, the Bees carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
