Barnsley entertain Middlesbrough in the opening league fixture of 2012/13 season.
Barnsley are again the bookies favourites for relegation and hope to prove them wrong yet again.
Barnsley will be without long term absentees Jim O'Brien and Mido who both face 3 months on the sidelines.
New signing Gonzalez will start in goal in the absence of the suspended Alnwick and injured Steele.
Middlesbrough come in to this fixture as one of the favourites for promotion and will remember how easy it was for them to claim all three points this time last year.
Of 24 meetings at Oakwell, Barnsley have 10 wins and Middlesbrough have come away with 8.
Overall Middlesbrough lead 24 to 13.
Barnsley 1 - 2 Middlesbrough - I just think they will have too much for us.
