Check out how to watch Barnsley v Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round live on TV this week.
Barnsley face one of the biggest tasks of the week as they host Chelsea in one of the last remaining FA Cup fixtures of the round.
The Tykes sit 13th in the Championship following a run of five league games without a win, but now they have a shot at the FA Cup quarter-finals, albeit an unlikely one.
Barnsley narrowly survived in the second tier last season, but they have established themselves in the division thanks to boss Valerien Ismael's impact in 2020/21.
Chelsea have taken good strides under new manager Thomas Tuchel with three back-to-back Premier League victories, and he will be keen to mark his debut season in English football with silverware.
The Blues last won the FA Cup in 2018 but have been involved in three of the last four finals.

Our prediction: Barnsley v Chelsea
Barnsley are not on a good run of form but they do have plenty of reasons for optimism in 2020/21.
They welcome Chelsea to Oakwell as rank outsiders in a bid for the quarter-finals but this is what the FA Cup is all about: a chance for the relative little guys to take a shot at some of the finest teams in world football.
Expect a resilient start from Barnsley but, if Chelsea's talented attacking stars breach the defences, expect the floodgates to open.
Our prediction: Barnsley 0-3 Chelsea (15/2 at bet365)
