TEAM NEWS
Oxford United are without Danny Hylton as they welcome Swindon Town to the Kassam Stadium this evening and have a major doubt over midfielder Danny Rose.
Hylton picked up a fifth yellow of the season during the 3-1 win at Accrington and misses one game, while Rose took a hefty blow to the hip in the same game and may have to miss the much anticipated derby game. Jordan Graham impressed as a sub in that game and is likely to continue, while Ryan Taylor and Patrick Hoban compete for Hylton's spot up front

THE OPPOSITION
Swindon come into the game on the back of four defeats in five games.
“It is probably a good game for us, it is probably the right game for us,” Manager Mark Cooper said.“A pressure game is probably what we need. We won’t do anything before Tuesday so the players that are left will have to stand up and be counted.
“I’m looking forward to it. I’ve not sampled it before and I’m looking forward to it. It should be a good occasion and we’re going to go and attack and try and win.
“We’ve got some big injuries that are hampering us at the minute, but there is nothing we can do about it. We’ve got to use the players we’ve got and hopefully they stand up, roll their sleeves up and dig in.”
The Robins are without Yaser Kasim and Louis Thompson, on international duty, while Nathan Thompson, Wes Thomas, Fabien Robert, Kevin Stewart and Jordan Williams are all ruled out through injury.
