PREVIEW Oxford United v Doncaster Rovers

A full guide to Saturday's final home game

26 April 2019

Oxford United welcome Doncaster Rovers for the final home league game of the Sky Bet League 1 season on Saturday.

TEAM NEWS
United welcome back Marcus Browne and Simon Eastwood after suspension but are without Ahmed Kashi whose season is over following his red card at Shrewsbury on Monday.

Youngster Nico Jones stands by for his full debut while Eastwood is expected to return in goal with Jack Stevens dropping to the bench while Jamie Hanson and John Mousinho compete for Kashi's holding role in midfield.

The Opposition

Doncaster boss Grant McCann has guided his team to sixth place in the table and a win could seal their place in the play-offs  “I have been in this situation as a player" he said. “We never won for three games and had to win the last game to get into the play-offs. “I remember it so well. Nobody fancied us and our form was not good and we got in on the last day and went and won the play-offs.

“Now it is almost coming around again and I am hoping it is a good omen.”

McCann is likely to recall talismanic James Coppinger was rested for the midweek game aagainst Accrington. McCann said: “Copps has come back and is revitalised and fresh.”
