Match Preview | Barnsley FC (A) | Saturday 1st November

York City will be looking to cause an upset in the Emirates FA Cup this weekend when we make the journey to Oakwell for the first time in 10 years to face Barnsley FC, with kick-off at 3 pm.

City were held at FC Halifax Town last weekend, where a dominant performance could only see the Minstermen leave with a single point. Ollie Pearce was the man to score once more as his 85th-minute goal snatched the win off the Shaymen.

Barnsley, however, suffered defeat to local rivals Rotherham at Oakwell last weekend when a single Kian Spence goal was enough to ensure the Reds went five league games without a victory.

City hosted Barnsley in pre-season back in July, with the game finishing in a 2-2 draw. The last time these two sides came together in a competitive fixture was back in late 2015. Despite York taking the lead, it was Barnsley who took the win in the EFL Trophy.
