--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Martin Devaney is expected to return to Barnsley's starting line-up after suspension because on-loan West Ham winger Kyel Reid is ineligible.
Adam Eckersley is also ineligible while Grant McCann (Cheltenham) and Dwayne Mattis (Bury) are Cup-tied.
Southend will welcome back midfielder Alan McCormack from suspension.
Luke Guttridge is the man destined to make way in the heart of the team, while winger Mitchell Cole is a doubt with a hamstring problem.
BIG-MATCH FACTS
BARNSLEY earned this replay against fellow Championship strugglers Southend, by virtue of a last-minute strike from Michael Coulson at Roots Hall. Mark Gower had given the Shrimpers the lead from close range midway through the second half. The Tykes sit two places and two points higher than Southend in the relegation zone, and have won only one of their last nine fixtures.
The Yorkshire club are aiming to get into the fourth round for the first time since 1998-99, when they made the quarter-finals for the second successive season. They've won the Cup once, in 1912, and have only been paired with and beaten Southend once in the competition (2-1 at home, after drawing 2-2 in Essex in third round in 1938). They took Manchester United to a replay in the next round that year, but United were only a Second Division club in those days.
In 11 games under Simon Davey, Barnsley have won three, drawn three and lost five - but those five defeats coming in the last seven outings.
SOUTHEND UNITED are unbeaten in five. They've won two and drawn three since their last away defeat, which was in extra time to Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup at White Hart Lane. They succumbed to a Jermain Defoe goal, having earlier sensationally knocked out Manchester United.
The Essex club have not been beyond the third round of the FA Cup since reaching the last 16 for the fifth time in their history 14 years ago. They've not beaten Barnsley in any competition since a 3-1 home victory at second League level on 7 May 1995. It's their only triumph in 11 matches against the Yorkshire club.
Victory for the Shrimpers could see a return to White Hart Lane in the next round, if Spurs overcome Cardiff in their replay.
SBH Prediction: 0-1 Eastwood
