The Tykes made the visit to Fratton Park in February in what was the head coach’s fourth fixture in the hot seat, with the two sides drawing 1-1 at PO4.

The Blues will be without Ronan Curtis, who joins Clark Robertson, Jayden Reid, Marlon Pack and Zak Swanson in the treatment room.

The game could come too soon for Jay Mingi, while Tom Lowery completed his comeback from a hamstring injury in Saturday's 1-0 win over Cambridge.

You can follow all the action from Oakwell with build-up, team news and video before live commentary from 7.45pm.
