Sports Mole looks ahead to Saturday's battle at the bottom of the Championship as Sheffield Wednesday host Barnsley.

There will be more than just local pride as stake on Saturday when Sheffield Wednesday host Barnsley in the Championship.

Both sides sit dangerously close to the relegation zone and a defeat for either team could see them slip into the bottom three.

Wednesday come into the game in the worse form with three losses in their last four matches, while Barnsley will be in confident mood thanks to two wins in a row.

The hosts have Seyi Olofinjana, Stuart Holden and Steve Howard all available after completing loan deals for the trio on Thursday.

Chris O'Grady is unavailable for the visitors due to the terms of his loan from Wednesday, but new signing Dennis Knight is expected to be in the squad.

Recent form

Sheff Weds: DWLLWL

Barnsley: Steele; Wiseman, Cranie, Kennedy, Hassell; O'Brien Perkins, Mellis, Scotland; Etuhu, Dagnall

Sports Mole says: 2-2
