The League One side will make the trip to Sussex after they were held to a 3-3 draw in the previous first-round encounter at Oakwell.

Horsham are appearing in the first round for the second time in their history after they successfully negotiated their way through four qualifying rounds.

As a result, the non-league side earned an away trip to Oakwell, where they came from behind to establish a 2-1 lead through a Shamir Fenlon strike and a James Hammond penelty.

Despite establishing a narrow advantage, they looked to be heading towards defeat after goals from Fabio Jalo and Mael de Gevigney put Barnsley in front.

However, Tom Richards proved to be Horsham’s hero on that occasion, tapping in an 81st-minute equaliser to take the first-round tie to a replay.

Horsham have gone on to beat Chichester City 6-0 in the Sussex Senior Challenge Cup and lost 2-0 to Hashtag United in the Isthmian League Premier Division, but they will now turn their full attention back to FA Cup action, as they look to pull off a major upset and set up a second round tie against Sutton United.

Meanwhile, Barnsley head into Tuesday’s cup tie off the back of a three-game winless run after playing out draws with Fleetwood Town and Horsham, before they fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Derby County at the weekend.

The Tykes are the joint-highest scorers in League One, and like the initial cup encounter, they will look to showcase their firepower against their non-league opponents,

Horsham vs. Barnsley Head to head

These two teams have only previously met once in this season’s FA Cup, playing out a 3-3 draw.
