Barnsley travel to take on Peterborough United at London Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Peterborough was just over four years ago, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League One match.
