Team News:

Barnsley
The hosts have had nearly two weeks off due to their league clash with Derby County last weekend being called off because of a waterlogged pitch.

Ismael will hope to have some of his injured players back, but the likes of Aapo Halme, Ben Williams and Liam Kitching are all likely to miss out.

Cauley Woodrow has nine goals in 23 Championship appearances this season and should lead the line, with Victor Adeboyejo and Dominik Frieser either side.

Barnsley possible starting lineup:
Collins; Sibbick, Helik, Andersen; Brittain, Mowatt, Palmer, Styles; Frieser, Woodrow, Adeboyejo
Barnsley FA Cup form: WW
Barnsley form (all competitions): WLLWDD

Chelsea
Tuchel has opted for a back five since succeeding Lampard and that has worked to good effect, but he may elect to go with a four-man defence on Thursday evening.

Thiago Silva will be absent at Oakwell due to a hamstring injury, but Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are expected to shake off knocks to at least be part of the squad.

Winger Christian Pulisic missed the win over Sheffield United for personal reasons and it remains to be seen if he will be available for this cup tie.

Up top, Tammy Abraham will be hopeful of a recall as he looks to build on a return of eight goal involvements in his last six FA Cup starts (five goals, three assists).
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; James, Christensen, Zouma, Chilwell; Havertz, Kante, Gilmour; Ziyech, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi
Chelsea FA Cup form: WW
Chelsea form (all competitions): LWDWWW

Prediction: Barnsley 0-2 Chelsea
