Elliott Dickman knows his team must raise their game in the Papa John's Trophy as they take on League One promotion hopefuls Barnsley in Group E of the competition.
The Tykes are in fine form and in the play-off places in the third flight but start the game bottom of the group against Newcastle after Dickman's side earned a point in a 0-0 draw with Doncaster before losing on penalties. United though know that victory could put them within touching distance of the knockout stages after failing to qualify from the group stages in the last three years.
