MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Blackburn are looking for a third straight win over Barnsley, having completed the league double over them last season.
• Rovers had to come from behind to win last season's corresponding fixture 2-1 - their first meeting with the Tykes in a decade.
• Barnsley have won just once at Ewood Park in 23 years, a 2-1 victory in August 1999.
Blackburn Rovers
• Blackburn are one of six clubs still looking for a first Championship win at the fourth attempt.
• Defeat would make it their worst start to a second level league season in 62 years.
• Rovers have only scored one league goal this term and that was on the road; they have not netted more than two goals in a home game in any competition since New Years' Day.
Barnsley
• The Tykes are second-bottom in the table, are also chasing their first win of the campaign - and have only registered one win in their last 11 league and cup games.
• David Flitcroft's men are looking for a first league victory in nine on their travels, since beating Middlesbrough 3-2 on 9 February.
• Three of the seven league goals Barnsley have conceded have come in the last 10 minutes. They lost two points when they let a two-goal lead slip against Charlton last time out.
