Horsham can pull off a surprise by beating Barnsley in the FA Cup.

Horsham have a chance to make history when they take on League One side Barnsley in the FA Cup replay. The two clubs drew 3-3 at Oakwell a couple of weeks ago, with seventh-tier Horsham scoring an equaliser in the 81st minute courtesy of Tom Richards.

Barnsley should have won quite comfortably but a combination of superb saves from Horsham goalkeeper Lewis Carey and some wasteful finishing kept the non-league club in the competition. The Tykes had 26 shots compared to just four from the visitors, but will travel south knowing they have work to do on the artificial surface at The Camping World Community Stadium.

Horsham are in mid-table in the Isthmian Premier League, some way adrift of leaders Hornchurch. They slipped to defeat at the weekend when they were beaten 2-0 by Hashtag United, but it was their first loss on home soil since the opening game of the season and only their second defeat in 17 matches in all competitions.

Tickets for the replay have sold out and supporters at home will be watching on television with anticipation of a cup upset. Horsham are worth a minor investment to advance to the second round and can be backed at 11/1 with Coral. It could be another high-scoring affair and over 6.5 goals is 12/1 with the same firm, while Richards is 5/1 with Sky Bet to score for Horsham. H Kane (not Harry!) is 14/5 with Coral and Ladbrokes to hit the net for the Yorkshire club.

Barnsley's promotion hopes in League One suffered a setback when they lost 3-0 at Derby on Saturday and although they remain in play-off contention, they are beginning to lose ground on leaders Portsmouth, Oxford and Bolton.

Aside from the Horsham v Barnsley FA Cup replay, Tuesday's other big game sees Peterborough win outright, while Derby and Grimsby are tipped to lead HT/FT. Michael van Gerwen is also 4/1 across the board to warm up for next month's PDC World Championship by winning this week's Grand Slam of Darts.

Whatever the outcome of the FA Cup replay, Victor Osimhen has responded to John Obi Mikel's call for him to join Chelsea, with Cole Palmer, Ezri Konsa and Rico Lewis called up to the England squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers.
