The Chairboys travel to North London on Tuesday night with an unbeaten record to maintain, having conceded only one goal away from home in the 2008/09 campaign.
Peter Taylor will be happy with his striking options ahead of the tie, as Wales Under 21 star Simon Church has completed a two month loan deal at Adams Park in time to travel with the squad to Underhill.
World talks to Peter TaylorThey will however have their work cut out against the Bees, who have history on their side - Wycombe have never won a game at Underhill.
Paul Fairclough's side have started to recover after a shocking start to the season, in which they failed to win any of their first nine games in all competitions.
Darlington Extended HighlightsWins over Grimsby and Accrington and this weekend's impressive 4-3 triumph against Rotherham have installed confidence back into the side, as they start to distance themselves from the bottom four.
Table toppers Wycombe are looking for their first league win since the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth at Adams Park, at the beginging of October.
Scott McGleish previews BarnetFormer Barnet striker Scott McGleish told
wwfc.com "We've not done too well there over the years, I've managed to score a few times at Underhill but everytime I do we get beat, so I might have to reserve my goal for Saturday.
They're going to be very buoyant from their result at the weekend so we need to take our performance and improve it."
