Thursday Throwback: Watch Barnsley hammer Burton Albion 5-0 in the FA Cup
It's somewhat remarkable that Saturday's clash is a Championship fixture - the sides then faced off in the first round of the FA Cup on November 8, 2014 with the Reds in League One and the Brewers in League Two.
And the gulf was seemingly a lot wider then too, with Barnsley romping home 5-0 winners at Oakwell and Sam Winnall bagging his first ever professional hat-trick.

Hide AdWinnall struck twice just before half-time and then after the break, Conor Hourihane made it 3-0. The Reds striker completed his treble with a little over 15 minutes remaining and on-loan Devante Cole came off the bench to complete the scoring late in the game.
There's a fair chance, the next encounter will be a little closer.
