Oxford United welcome Coventry City to the Kassam Stadium on Sunday with a midday kick-off a
Team News
The U's are unbeaten in four games and welcome back Marcus Browne, Jamie Mackie and Curtis Nelson to the squad that beat Fulham under 21s in midweek in the Checkatrade Trophy.
All three were rested in midweek but are expected to feature, while Shandon Baptiste is likely to continue after shaking off a knee problem he picked up in the draw at Sunderland last weekend. Baptiste hopes to train tomorrow and be involved, having missed a chance to play for Grenada, but Gavin Whyte is away with Northern Ireland and unavailable for the U's.
Samir Carruthers is now out of his protective cast and starting to train again while Rob Hall is back around the club and in good spirits after his knee operation.

The Opposition
Coventry boss Mark Robins has seen his side win just one of their opening six matches in League One this season but is looking forward to the trip to Oxford on Sunday
“It’s a great game to be involved in," he said."It’s a game on Sky against near neighbours and they’re a good team and it’s a big game for everyone and one to look forward to. It’s a different game and different scenario.
“There’s three points at stake and we want the three points and we need to start picking them up and I know that but we have to maintain what we do and the direction of travel. We’re working hard to instil a way of playing that people enjoy watching and we have to make sure we are relaxed to go out and continue playing in the same vein.
“We’re playing good stuff and creating chances, I think I would be more worried if we were not creating chances, but we have to keep going in the same vein."
