Oxford United

We look ahead to tomorrow's npower League 2 game at Bradford City.

United welcome back Peter Leven and Justin Richards to the squad plus loan signing Lewis Montrose for the first time as they return to league action.

Leven missed out on Tuesday night against Southend through injury while Richards was cup-tied in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after making his first appearance since joining from Burton in last Saturday's FA Cup game against Sheffield United.

Montrose was cup tied for both of the last two matches but is now eligible for the first time and could feature in midfield.

With James Constable serving the third game of his four match suspension Richards is likely to partner Tom Craddock up front.

See a full preview show in Yellow Player, featuring Justin Richards interview, along with the thoughts of Chris Wilder  in another video exclusive.

After their Capital One Cup heroics in midweek, when they beat Aston Villa 3-1 in the first leg of the semi-final, assistant boss Steve Parkin has urged the home fans to get behind the team once again against the U's

 “The fans have been absolutely fantastic this season and we’ve given them a lot of fond memories and good performances. If we can join hands together tomorrow, the team and the fans, then hopefully we can make sure of getting the points" he told the Bradford Telegraph and Argus.

“Our focus is very much the league. We don’t want to drop down and if we get the win, we’ll be right up there again.

Parkin added: “Nobody should be fooled or expect us to be playing the same Oxford team when we won away from home. They were on a poor run and low in confidence. But they’ve got a good manager and I’m sure he’s got them in the right frame of mind as the results have proved. We’ll have to play as well as we did against Aston Villa to get three points.”

New signing Andy Gray is expected to be on the bench after joining from Leeds.
