Team News

Oxford
Plymouth
  • Gary Rowett could name an unchanged starting line-up following his first win in charge of the U's on Boxing Day.
  • Siriki Dembele and Louie Sibley both returned to action against Cardiff, meaning Oxford United have just two injuries to contend with here.
  • Mustapha Bundu suffered an injury during the Boxing Day defeat to Coventry, while Callum Wright was sent off.
  • Expect at least two changes from Wayne Rooney with Matty Sorinola and Frederick Issaka both pushing for recalls.

Prediction

  • Oxford United scored three goals in a 16-minute spell either side of half time on Boxing Day as the U's sealed a critical 3-2 victory against fellow strugglers Cardiff.
  • The hosts had lost six of their last seven league matches prior to that result, but have now climbed to 20th in the standings.
  • Wayne Rooney's position is under serious threat ahead of this relegation six-pointer following a dismal showing away from home against Coventry on Boxing Day.
  • Plymouth have claimed a miserable two points from a possible 36 on their travels this season and sit bottom of the Championship table heading into gameweek 24.

  • Despite the long injury list with many key players involved, Plymouth are going to do the impossible to save Rooney from being sacked. If they could win vs Blackburn & Sunderland and draw last game vs Middboro,why can't win vs Oxford.

  • Oxford Win

  • Home win
