Barnsley play host to Swansea City at Oakwell on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 31 games.
The last time the two teams met at Barnsley was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1983, as the Tykes squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Second Division match.
