MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Huddersfield have avoided defeat in five of the last six league and cup games against Barnsley.
• The Tykes are chasing a first home league victory over their Yorkshire rivals in eight years, since a 4-2 triumph in January 2005 when Michael Chopra bagged a hat-trick and Ross Turnbull was sent off after 50 minutes.
• Huddersfield need to score twice to take their total of goals in all competitions against Barnsley to 100.
Barnsley
• Bottom-placed Barnsley have drawn one and lost three Championship games, but only once in 21 seasons have they had just one point from their first five league outings (2009).
• Manager David Flitcroft needs to shore up a defence that has leaked 10 goals in two league and Capital One Cup games.
• Defender Scott Golbourne could make his 200th career league start and Steele is standing by to make his 200th appearance in goal for the Tykes.
Huddersfield Town
• Huddersfield are targeting four straight victories in all competitions and hope to win three consecutive matches for the first time in 11 months - if they do so it will be their best start to a league season at this level in 30 years.
• Mark Robins is taking his current club back to the one he managed for two seasons from September 2009 and kept in the Championship.
• If the Terriers score twice it will take their total of league goals at this level to 2,000.
• Striker James Vaughan is looking to add to his tally of seven goals in five league and cup appearances.
