TEAM NEWS
United will have to make changes to the line-up as they travel to Tranmere Rovers for their FA Cup second round replay tonight.
Striker Tyrone Barnett, scorer of the two goals that forced the replay, has returned to parent club Peterborough after his loan and that could mean a switch to a more central role for Danny Hylton. With Wes Burns cup-tied after a highly promising debut on Saturday Alfie Potter and Callum O'Dowda come into the equation while youngsters Josh Ashby and Sam Humphreys come back into the squad. Joe Riley and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis are eligible under the terms of their loans.
See Danny Hylton and Michael Appleton give their thoughts ahead of the game in Yellow Player.
THE OPPOSITION
Tranmere have lost just two of the 12 games since Mickey Adams took over and come into the game after back to back wins. With Swansea at home awaiting the winners there is an extra incentive for both teams as Tranmere Coach Chris Shuker said: “There’s a great carrot at the end of the string and it’s the same for Oxford as well.
“It is going to be difficult. We know that much from the game at their place. We have gained a bit of confidence over the last few weeks and so have Oxford. When you are at this level you want to play against top-flight players. Lads want to go home and tell the missus: I’m going to be playing against a Premier League team.
“Swansea were on TV at the weekend. It could be us playing them in a couple of weeks. That’s a great incentive.”
Adams said: “Swansea is one of my old clubs. I managed there for a spell and would look forward to playing them. But we have got to get past Oxford first.”
