Preston North End are still fighting for a top-half finish.
Despite a poor run, they are just three points off 12th place and need to win on Saturday.
They travel to a Barnsley side who are already relegated and who have lost five of their last seven matches.
Cameron Archer to score anytime (7/4)
Archer has proven to be a shrewd piece of January business from Preston.
Since his loan move from Aston Villa, the striker has scored 7 league goals.
