Oxford United travel to Eastleigh tonight looking to give their young players a chance to shine in their sixth pre-season friendly of the summer (7.30pm).
Mark Sykes, Jamie Hanson and Tony McMahon add a little experience to a young squad who have all been involved in matches so far but now get a chance to impress over 90 minutes.
First year pros Kyran Lofthouse, Aaron McCreadie and Ryan Crooks are included as are new faces Sam Allardyce, Yoav Sade and Kevin Berkoe. Nico Jones and Fabio Lopes have both been involved with the first team all summer and travel with the senior squad rather than the under 18s who are in action at North Leigh tonight.
United (from)
Jack Stevens, Max Harris, Yuav Sade, Nico Jones, Sam Allardyce, Kevin Berkoe, Jamie Hanson, Mark Sykes, Aaron Heap, Owen James, Aaron McCreadie, Ryan Crooks, Fabio Lopes, Kyran Lofthouse, Tony McMahon, Jack Stevens

Tickets can be purchased from the club shop at Eastleigh priced at £10 for adults, £5 for over 60s and Students with valid ID, £3 for Under 18s and under 7s free of charge (but will still need a ticket to gain entry to the ground).
