Match preview

Nottingham Forest fans will have been pleased with what they have seen since Chris Hughton's departure and the Tricky Trees can maintain their mini-revival at Barnsley on Wednesday.

Now under the guidance of former Swansea boss Steve Cooper, they won 2-0 at Huddersfield and then had the better of the game in Saturday's 1-1 home draw with Millwall.

Striker Lewis Grabban suffered an injury in the draw with the Lions, but likely replacement Lyle Taylor can create plenty of problems for the Tykes defence.

Barnsley have struggled after reaching the Championship playoffs last year and while five of their eight league matches this term have ended in draws, it is a concern that they have found the net just three times in their last five matches.

Key stat

Barnsley are without a win in their last seven matches.
