Live coverage from Oakwell as Darren Moore's Sheffield Wednesday side face the Reds in a mouth-watering derby that could have big ramifications in the League One promotion battle

Hello and welcome to tonight's live blog as Sheffield Wednesday face local rivals Barnsley.

The Owls make the short trip across South Yorkshire to face Michael Duff's side with both teams in superb form. Wednesday are defending a 23-game unbeaten run in League One whilst this evening's hosts have not lost any of their last 11 outings. The Reds ran-out 2-0 winners when the two sides went head-to-head last September.

It could be a crucial night in the promotion race. Darren Moore's side are currently one point clear of second-placed Plymouth Argyle, with the Pilgrims in action away at Accrington Stanley.

Chances

Wednesday go close on a couple of occasions. The best of the lot sees Smith's header kept out brilliantly. Before that Gregory saw one blocked before Adeniran did the same. And another Gregory for good measure just after.

Save!

Norwood's header is kept out brilliantly by the sprawling Dawson. Stemmed from another unforced error by Wednesday though.

The goal

Vaulks' instinctive first-time ball picks out Smith. He then centres and Greogry and he bundles in from close-range. Game on.

Poor cross

The Owls push forward and it works its way to Iorfa but his cross is far too deep and trickles out for a goal kick.

Another FK

Wednesday have given a flurry of fouls away inside their own half in the last few minutes. A third goal would be fatal, you feel.

All Barnsley

The hosts have been right at it so far and Owls can't even get going. A number of sloppy fouls being conceded and Barnsley have a FK midway inside the Wednesday half.
