Introduction [Music] Contents kural cup barnesley versus Sheffield United prediction team news lineups preview League one and Championship Collide in the second round of the efl cup on Tuesday night when barnesley welcome Sheffield United to their oakwell base the Tikes edged out Wigan Athletic on penalty to avoid an immediate elimination while their second tier foes emerged Victorious from a six-goal thriller with rexam match preview with another League one playoff push at the Forefront of barnsley's Minds efl cup stardom will be low down the list of the TI's priorities for 2024 to 25 but Tuesday's hosts have already bettered their run from 2023 to 24 by virtue of holding their nerve from 12 yards 12 months ago barnsley's Penal prowess eluded them in a first round exit to trir Rovers but Daryl Clark's side fought back to hold Wigan to a one-o-one draw in this year's first round before on loan Chelsea man Gabriel slonina stopped fellow osgard and Josh stones from the spot a first third round appearance since 2020 to 21 where Chelsea hit them for six is therefore within touching distance for barnesley but their overall start to the 2024 to2 campaign has been nothing to write home about with four points from their first nine on offer in League one a two to1 loss to Mansfield town and victory over Lincoln City by the same score line preceded a 2 to2 stalemate with Northampton town on Saturday where Clark's men were two goals to the good heading into the final 20 minutes only to catastrophically throw their lead away the Tikes also started their efl trophy campaign on the wrong foot with a 3 to2 home defeat to Manchester United's under 21s but the neutrals can at least expect entertainment at oakwell as each of barnsley's last 14 competitive matches has seen both teams score entertainment was not in short supply at bremol Lane in the first round of the efl cup either as Sheffield United subjected more knockout misery on rexam whom they memorably left heartbroken in the fourth round of the 2022 to 23 FA Cup despite conceding First on August 13th Chris Wilders men breached the rexam backline four times to ensure that a firstr giant killing would not be on the cards and they have maintained their unbeaten start to 2024 to 25 since however that 4 to2 beating of the Dragons remains their most recent success in any competition as the blades have since been forced to accept Championship draws with Queens Park Rangers 2 to2 and nor which city one to one to leave them with three points from a possible nine they were deducted to at the start of the term for financial indiscretions as a result the blades are already marooned in mid-table and have early ground to make up in the promotion fight while their efl cup run in 2023 to 24 coincidentally ended in round two at the hands of lower league opposition in the shape of Lincoln City Sheffield United did the double over barnesley during their most recent showdowns in the 2021 to 22 Championship campaign though and the Ty's last Triumph in this fixture came back in 2018 when oi MCB Bernie was coincidentally among the scorers against his future employers team news even though barnesley right back Coro Keefe was sent off in the recent efl trophy loss to man united his suspension only applies to that competition meaning that he is at Clark's disposal for the visit of Sheffield United Striker Max Waters also overcame a hamstring concern to play 66 minutes of the draw with Northampton where left back Georgie jent was taken off at the break although that appeared to be a tactical tweak Clark did not hold back at fulltime at the weekend accusing his side of having a soft underbelly so alterations in the Middle with John Russell and viml yoga Nathan would not be a total surprise regarding Sheffield United's availability fullback Duo femi siki and Jamie Shackleton are both on the menend from respective knee injuries so Chelsea owned Alfie Gilchrist should start on the right as he faces up to fellow blue slonina however none of Wilder's troops picked up any fresh issues in the draw with Norwich where Michael Cooper made his blades debut and goal but Evo gerbich may now return for cup duties two scorers from the rexam success and E sliming and Louie Marsh should be among the names considered for starts by Wilder who could also take a punt on ran Brewster up top again barnesley possible starting lineup slonina Earl Pines Roberts Loft House Russell Craig huran jent Cosgrove Waters Sheffield United possible starting lineup gerbich Gilchrist solder trusty mallum rasaki peek kibali sliming Marsh Brewster we say barnesley one to2 Sheffield United goals at both of the pitch are almost a guarantee whenever barnesley are in action and Tuesday's tie should be no different especially after their calamitous defensive capitulation at the weekend such rear guard deficiencies should be exposed even by a rotated Sheffield United side who will be made to work for their victory at oakwell but ought to advance to round three regardless thanks for your watching don't forget to click the subscribed button and hit the Bell icon for more
