Previewing the fixture, Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel said: “In football, you do not have so much time. I think the important thing is that we try it, believe it and get the feeling we improve a little bit more every week.

“Nobody likes to lose games - us, the players and supporters - but it's also a chance to improve what we can do better. What we miss at the moment is to bring the game to our side and we try to take from every experience where we can improve.”

When is Barnsley v Leicester City?

Kick-off at Oakwell is scheduled for 12:30pm on Saturday, September 19.
