Preview: Barnsley vs. Leicester City

Sports Mole looks ahead to Tuesday night's Championship match at Oakwell between Barnsley and Leicester City.

Leicester City will be hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the Championship when they travel to struggling Barnsley on Tuesday evening.

The Foxes currently sit five points clear of second-placed Burnley after their 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic on Saturday.

Nigel Pearson's side have been in impressive form of late, having dropped just six points during their 14-match unbeaten run in the league.

Barnsley moved off the bottom of the table at the weekend after they beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at Oakwell.

Danny Wilson's team are in good form in front of their own supporters, having gone five games unbeaten at home.

The Tykes have no fresh injury concerns and Wilson could be tempted to name the same XI that beat Forest, which would see Dale Jennings continue up front alongside Chris O'Grady.

The visitors will once again be without the suspended Paul Konchesky for the match, while Sean St Ledger misses out due to injury.

Leicester emerged 2-1 winners when the sides last met at the King Power Stadium in September.
