The Swans will be looking to return to winning ways after falling to a 3-1 defeat on the road to Sheffield United last time out.

Pre-match views
Coach Jarred Harvey: "We'll dust ourselves down from Sheffield United, and make sure we go again.
"We've had a good week of training, and will give some younger players some opportunities on Saturday, as well as players who need to build up minutes.
"Barnsley are fighting for a play-off place in their division, so they will bring that competitiveness and physicality."
