PREVIEW Oxford United v Plymouth Argyle

A full guide to Saturday's Sky Bet League 1 game

16 February 2018

Oxford United welcome Plymouth Argyle to Grenoble Road on Saturday.

TEAM NEWS

The U's should have Jon Obika available again as they look to get back to winning ways. The striker limped off during the 3-2 win at Charlton two weeks ago after feeling a hamstring tighten up but has been back in training this week and is expected to be part of the squad.

Cameron Brannagan could also be involved for the first time since joining from Liverpool. The midfielder rolled an ankle in training in his first week of training  but has trained all week and caretaker boss Derek Fazackerley told iFollow that Brannagan will come into his plans either this weekend or the following week when United travel to Northampton Town.

See Faz discussing all the latest injury news as well as previewing the game, all in iFollow right now.

Our supporters can help us by getting behind the players and encouraging them. They have done that ever since I have been at this football club and hopefully they can do it again this Saturday and give us that extra little bit to help us get that win we need.

GUEST OF HONOUR

We are delighted to have a true Manor legend back with us tomorrow when Paul Simpson joins us in the restaurant. One of the best wingers ever to play for the club, Simmo is now a World Cup winner after guiding the England under 20 side to success. Make him welcome as he comes home to the U's.

GETTING HERE

Parking

  • East Stand car park - this will open to supporters at midday
  • A car park steward will count vehicles in and the car park will be closed when it is full.
  • Another car park steward will direct drivers to a bay to ensure spaces are filled up systematically; drivers are no longer allowed to park outside of the marked bays.
  • A tweet will go out from @OUFCOfficial to update supporters when the car park is full to allow them to make alternative arrangements.
  • The Rapid Expansion Barrier will be behind the North Stand and deployed as required. Elderly fans and those with mobility issues should talk to a supervising steward (orange coat).

Additional parking is available on Grenoble Road and in Sandford on Thames.

CLUB SHOP

The club shop has a kit sale now on with home and goalkeeping tops reduced and great bargains in all sizes but be quick: once they are gone they are gone. Call in before or after the game or visit oufcshop.co.uk

FAMILY ROOM

The Family Room is open to young fans from all stands. There are games and activities for all ages plus visits from first team players. Join the fun in the corner of the East and North stands from 1.30pm.
