Here is how we predict Barnsley and Leeds United will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 21st January 2017 at 17:30. Venue: Oakwell, Barnsley

Odds: Barnsley 9/4, Draw 11/5, Leeds 11/10

Leeds United travel to Oakwell on Saturday to take on Barnsley in their latest Championship clash.

The Whites are currently flying high in the Championship, in third position and with an outside chance of breaking into the automatic promotion places if they maintain their current form.

In contrast Barnsley are 10th with 38 points, seven outside the play-off places but with plenty of football still to be played.

Leeds have recovered brilliantly after their 2-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last month, winning six of their next seven matches in all competitions.

Their manager Garry Monk has settled on a winning formula; however he and his players will be taking nothing for granted against a Barnsley side that will be smarting from back-to-back defeats against Fulham and Blackpool in the league and FA Cup respectively.

Leeds have a few absentees in defence, with Pontus Jansson suspended and Charlie Taylor injured, so here is how we expect them to line up on Saturday:
