Sports Mole previews Leicester City's trip to Oakwell to face Barnsley.

Barnsley will be looking for their third successive home win when they play Leicester City at Oakwell on Easter Monday.

The Tykes have overcome a patchy run of form to move out of the relegation zone in the past three weeks, and manager David Flitcroft will be confident that his team can take advantage of a Leicester City side that have lost all momentum in their pursuit for promotion.

Bobby Hassell and Chris Dagnall could start after coming off the bench in Barnsley's 1-0 victory over Watford.

Nigel Pearson faces a battle to rally his side after they failed to win for the sixth successive match on Friday night.

Their narrow defeat to Millwall has left their playoff place hanging in the balance, and Pearson could shuffle his pack for the visit to Yorkshire.

Wes Morgan is suspended so Zak Whitbread could earn a starting place, while Andy King and Harry Kane could feature.

Sports Mole says: 2-1
