PREVIEW Walsall v Oxford United

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

12 January 2018

Oxford United head for Walsall on Saturday. Here we have a full guide to the game.

TEAM NEWS

United have three new faces available with Rob Dickie, Cameron Brannagan and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts all hoping to be included.

Dickie was on the bench for the win over Blackpool last Saturday but then cup-tied for the Checkatrade Trophy victory at Charlton. Defensive duo Aaron Martin and Mike Williamson were outstanding in that game and with skipper John Mousinho available after injury and Charlie Raglan making a first appearance on the bench last week Manager Pep Clotet has plenty of options.

Left back Ricardinho is suspended, with Dwight Tiendalli likely to replace him, but Josh Ruffels returns to the squad after being rested on Tuesday.

With Brannagan and Buckley-Ricketts training with their new teammates for the first time today and Agon Mehmeti scoring from the spot and Malachi Napa impressing at Charlton there are plenty of attacking options for the U's where top scorer Wes Thomas and in-form Jon Obika, with three goals in three games, will be looking to continue their blossoming partnership.

Simon Eastwood should be available again after a shoulder injury but Joe Rothwell (hamstring), Rob Hall (knee) Curtis Nelson (achilles) and Ivo Pekalski (knee) remain on the sidelines.
