Manager Gary Caldwell may make changes as Wigan seek to secure the Sky Bet League One title.

The Latics secured their instant return to the Championship last week and need a point against the Tykes to make certain of silverware.

Dutch attacking midfielder Yanic Wildschut will be hopeful of a starting spot after coming off the bench to score twice in the 4-0 thumping of Blackpool.

League One's top scorer Will Grigg, who has eight goals in his last seven games, will be looking to find the back of the net and ensure he takes home the golden boot.

Play-off chasing Barnsley could be unchanged for the third match in a row.

Paul Heckingbottom's side have no new injury concerns and may even be strengthened by the return to fitness of full-back Aidy White.

If White is not ready to start, Josh Scowen will continue to deputise.
