How can I watch Sheffield Wednesday v Barnsley? Who is the ref? The latest odds

Tony Pulis’ side will welcome the Reds to S6 after crashing to a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium on Tuesday night.

The reverse means the Owls are winless in seven games and also haven’t won any of the six matches under Pulis since he took over from Garry Monk in the Hillsborough hotseat in mid-November.

Barnsley are in action against Wycombe Wanderers at Oakwell this evening and will be hoping to bounce back from their 4-0 thumping by AFC Bournemouth on Friday.
