Preview: Barnsley (A)
Friday, November 1st 2019
The Robins kick off their first of back-to-back away games with a trip to Oakwell this Friday night (7.45pm KO).
The Sky Sports cameras will be in town for the Sky Bet Championship fixture versus caretaker boss Adam Murray's Tykes.
He took over following Daniel Stendel's departure at recently-promoted Barnsley, who sit bottom of the table with one win so far amid a rocky return to life in the second tier.
Meanwhile, City have shown character in recent games to pick up four points from a possible six in their bid to keep themselves in the top of the table contest.

City are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Barnsley, September 1st 2012 the last time the Tykes took all three points off the Robins.
But the current run over Barnsley (W3, D4) all began with a 5-3 victory in February of the 2012/13 season.
Jon Stead scored twice, with Liam Fontaine and Lewin Nyatanga putting City 4-0 ahead before Chris O'Grady pulled a goal back for the Tykes. Steve Davies added City's fifth of the day before a late fightback from Tomasz Cywka and Jason Scotland proved no more than consolation goals.
