Match preview | Barnsley v Imps – Vertu Trophy

City will conclude their 2025/26 Vertu Trophy group stage with a trip to Oakwell to take on Barnsley on Tuesday 11 November (7pm KO).
The Imps have already secured qualification for the knockout stages of the competition thanks to 3-0 home wins against Notts County and Manchester United U21.
If Michael Skubala’s side avoid defeat against the Reds, they will guarantee their place as group winners and a home tie in the next round.
Michael Skubala:
“The game will come too soon for Ben (House), so we’ll see how he is for Saturday. Dom Jefferies, Jack Moylan and Oisin Gallagher may get some minutes, this is a good game to potentially get them involved.
“We want to get through as group winners, that is our focus. Then on Saturday, we want to have a right good go at Doncaster Rovers and give the fans something to shout about.”
