Oxford United welcome Manchester City in the Carabao Cup this evening.
TEAM NEWS
United are without Simon Eastwood, George Thorne, Ben Woodburn, Jamie Hanson, Malachi Napa and Anthony Forde through injury but welcome James Henry back into the squad with the top scorer likely to be on the bench after recovering from a thigh injury.
Cameron Brannagan and Shandon Baptiste made their returns at MK Dons on Saturday after injury and in previous rounds Karl Robinson has changed things around to give young players an opportunity. Will he do so again against the Champions?
See Karl previewing the game in iFollow right now where Cameron Brannagan also has his say.
THE OPPOSITION
Manager Pep Guardiola knows plenty about the U's after last season's meeting in the same competition: "It’s the same manager, they changed it a little bit (from) the way they played last season in the way they set up, but they play quite similar in terms of attack " he said.
"In one game anything can happen and we are going (there) like we did in the past – to try to win and go to the semi-finals."
