Five facts
1. Burton, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Wigan and Rotherham are the five Sky Bet Championship clubs yet to win away, and they’re all on their travels on Tuesday tonight.
2. Barnsley have failed to beat Newcastle in their last 10 attempts, dating back to 1992. The Magpies have put six past the Tykes twice since then, including their last Championship meeting.
3. Rotherham have won just six of their 33 encounters with Birmingham. The Blues have won 15, while there have been nine draws along the way.
4. Ipswich and Burton face off for the first time ever. The pair are level on points in the Championship, with the 16th-placed Brewers one position higher due to goal difference.
5. Reading have only beaten Aston Villa twice in their history, in 1912 and 2007. The Villans have won 10 of the previous 11 meetings.
