The key TV and streaming details ahead of Barnsley’s League One clash with Wigan Athletic

Barnsley are set to return to League One action with a trip across the Pennines to Wigan Athletic.

They were then in EFL Trophy action in midweek, defeating Oldham Athletic 5-2 despite the next round being out of reach.

Barnsley are back to their bread and butter this weekend with a trip to Wigan in the calendar. It will be a meeting of two struggling sides, but both have shown signs of life recently.

Reds head coach Daniel Stendel said: “It’s more pressure maybe than in our situation normally, but it doesn't matter, it's one game.

“Pressure is part of football, but we need also a little bit of calm to play our game. We're looking forward to it. We're in good shape and in a positive momentum.”

Kick-off at the Brick Community Stadium is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, November 14.
