Derby winger Kamil Jozwiak fails to beat the first defender with his corner from the left flank.

Frustrating for the visitors.

Derby keeper Kelle Roos does well to claim Callum Brittain's inswinging corner right on his goalline.

The Dutchman has not had too much to do so far this evening.

Conor Chaplin thinks he's beaten the Derby offside trap from a free-kick forward by Alex Mowatt.

But a flag is up on the far side as Chaplin latches on to the ball.

Good play by Romal Palmer sees the Barnsley midfielder beat a couple of players and burst into the Rams box.

However, his attempted cross is cut out.

Matt Clarke is fine to continue for the visitors, by the way.

There's a break in play as Derby's Matt Clarke needs some treatment.

It looks like he's got a cut on his forehead which requires a bit of attention.

Route one from the hosts.

Daryl Dike heads on a long ball from keeper Brad Collins but Matt Clarke heads clear.

The ball drops to Cauley Woodrow, who skews his effort from outside the box well wide of the Rams goal.

Callum Brittain fizzes the ball over the Derby bar from the right-hand corner of the area.

I'm not sure if the Tykes wing-back really meant that as a shot, or mis-hit his cross.

Tykes striker Daryl Dike tries to get the best of Rams centre-back Teden Mengi on the right flank, but the defender wins the race on this occasion.

The game has been an even tussle so far. Neither side is yet to really impose themselves on the game.

There's a strong wind at Oakwell this evening, and the conditions might well play a part in the outcome.

The wind is occasionally influencing the direction of the ball, and both clubs have been slightly direct so far.

Cauley Woodrow is penalised for a foul on Derby winger Jason Knight midway inside the Rams half.

The Tykes striker had slid in and was slightly late, so becomes the first player into the book this evening.

He can't have too many complaints.

Good defending at the back post by Barnsley centre-back Michal Helik, who stabs behind a free-kick from Graeme Shinnie into the Tykes box.

Home keeper Bradley Collins palms away the resulting corner and then eventually gathers the loose ball and Barnsley clear.

Almost a fast start for the hosts, as Callum Styles is released down the left flank.

Conor Chaplin can't get on the end of Styles' cross into the box and then the ball evades Cauley Woodrow.

Then there's a brief stop in play as the ball has burst. I'm not quite sure how that has happened already...

Barnsley look to extend their best-ever winning run in the second tier on a blustery and somewhat soggy evening at Oakwell.

Derby are looking for a first win in four games.

The referee this evening is Keith Stroud.

A reminder of what's at stake for both sides this evening.

Barnsley can cement their place in the Championship play-off places with victory...

...while Derby are aiming to create more room between them and the bottom three.

The Rams are 10 points clear of Sheffield Wednesday in 23rd - but Rotherham could close the gap with their games in hand.

Wayne Rooney has pulled Derby away from the relegation mire since the sacking of Phillip Cocu in November.

The Rams were bottom of the Championship and two points from safety when Rooney and three coaches were placed in interim charge.

The former Manchester United and England striker then took the reins alone and County come into this match in 19th, six points above the bottom three.

But the club are enduring a mini-blip, losing their past two and with one win in five.

With Rotherham - who occupy the last relegation spot - having games in hand, Derby aren't out of the woods yet.

Barnsley are flying at the moment, with their seven straight wins representing their second-best run in their EFL history.

Not since 1954-55, when the Tykes won 10 in a row in Division Three (North) have the South Yorkshire club tasted such success.

Boss Valerien Ismael has got fans of the Oakwell outfit dreaming of a return to the Premier League after a 23-year absence.

Barnsley's sole season in the sun in 1997-98 had supporters chanting "It's just like watching Brazil".

After surviving relegation on the final day of last season, the transformation in fortunes has been remarkable under Ismael, who was appointed in October.

Barnsley boss Valerien Ismael makes two changes from the 1-0 win over Birmingham on Saturday.

Defender Toby Sibbick and forward Conor Chaplin both start.

Barnsley XI: Collins, Sibbick, Helik, Andersen, Brittain, Palmer, Mowatt, Styles, Chaplin, Woodrow, Dike.

Substitutes: Walton (GK), Sollbauer, Williams, Moon, Adeboyejo, Frieser, Kane, Oduor, Morris.

Derby manager Wayne Rooney makes five changes from their 1-0 defeat at Coventry at the weekend.

There's a re-jig in the back line, with Craig Forsyth, Teden Mengi and George Edmondson all coming into the XI.

Winger Kamil Jozwiak and striker Lee Gregory also start.

Derby XI: Roos, Wisdom, Edmondson, Mengi, Forsyth, Knight, Shinnie, Clarke, Jozwiak, Gregory, Kazim-Richards.

Substitutes: Idem (GK), Buchanan, McDonald, Watson, Wilson, Bird, Sibley, Roberts, Waghorn.

There's just one Championship fixture to bring you this evening, but it could be a belter.

A Barnsley side on a seven-match winning streak play host to Derby County.

The Tykes have climbed into the play-off places on the back of their run, while the Rams are still looking to move away from danger at the bottom of the table.

With kick-off just 15 minutes away at Oakwell, the team news is on the way next.
