TEAM NEWS
Oxford United look to continue their unbeaten start to the season as they welcome Notts County to the Kassam Stadium in Sky Bet League 2 tonight (7.45pm)

Having drawn their first two league games against Crawley and Luton, with a fine win at Brentford in the Capital One Cup sandwiched in between, the U's could add new signing John Lundstram to the squad for the first time. The former Everton midfielder is in contention for a place on the bench but Michael Appleton is expected to name an unchanged starting eleven for the fourth game in a row. Patrick Hoban impressed after scoring as a sub at Luton but may have to stay patient.

See Michael, Danny Rose and Liam Sercombe give their thoughts ahead of the game in Yellow Player HD where we also have the whole game LIVE and longer highlights to enjoy this season. 

THE OPPOSITION
Having beaten Stevenage in their opening game and then Huddersfield in the Capital One Cup it was back to earth with a bump for boss Ricardo Moniz on Friday night as his side lost at home to Mansfield Town.

"I hurt a lot. There is a lot of emotion there that you can't repair at the moment. For the fans it's emotional," he said after the game. "We were not able to create anything in the first half. We played at home but they played like they were at home. We couldn't create anything. In the first two games I was critical about that. In difficult games where it's so close you need the escape."

County have defender Gill Swerts available after a one-match ban but there is a doubt over  Civard Sprockel, who limped off with an ankle injury on Friday night.

TICKETS 
To avoid queues on the night we recommend purchasing in advance Call 01865 337533 or visit www.oufctickets.co.uk to book your place and print your ticket at home. 

We are expecting a large number of supporters purchasing tickets for our Capital One Cup 2nd Round tie at Sheffield Wednesay. If purchasing tickets on the night we recommend arriving early to avoid queues.

Following feedback from our first home game of the season, supporters in the East Stand will now be able to access the stand through any turnstile, in a bid to minimise queues and allow people to access the stadium as quickly and easily as possible. Supporters are still advised to arrive in plenty of time. Please disregard the turnstile numbers printed on your Season Ticket Access card or paper ticket.

Following a successful first trial against Crawley, ticket holders in the North Stand will once again be able to use the unreserved seating in Block 25, on the half way line.
