Oxford United look to make it 12 games unbeaten when they travel to Portsmouth on Saturday
TEAM NEWS
United will be without Rob Hall who rolled his ankle during Tuesday's Carabao Cup game against Sunderland. With Ben Woodburn, Cameron Brannagan, Malachi Napa, George Thorne and Jamie Hanson already ruled out United will wait on the fitness of Chris Cadden and Tariqe Fosu, who have both missed training at some stage this week.
See Karl previewing the game in iFollow right now where we have Rob Hall and Jamie Brooks as our guests in the Preview Show...
THE OPPOSITION
Kenny Jackett is looking for his side to stay tight at the back against the free-scoring U's.
"We have to make sure we are proactive in our defending" he said. "The best form of defending is interception, pressing, stepping up and making sure we block crosses. If we can, try to hold a brave line, a high line, and generally be proactive.
‘We don’t want to drop deep, invite pressure, we want to be careful with the amount of free-kicks we give away. There’s a thin dividing line between getting tight, blocking and competing – and then not giving free-kicks away."
