Barnsley travel to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Monday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 7 of the 35 games.
The last time the two teams met at Wolves was back in November 2001, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League Division One match.
