Oxford United travel to Sunderland on Good Friday (3pm) looking to build on a win against Lincoln City last time out which put them within touching distance of the play-off places.
TEAM NEWS
The U's welcomed back James Henry for the Lincoln game and the influential midfielder is likely to continue while Elliot Lee returns to the squad after a knee problem.
Sam Long has returned to training but Karl Robinson faces a choice of whether he is involved on Friday or on Monday when the U's play Accrington Stanley at home with the defender unlikely to be risked in both games.
There have been one or two minor illnesses in the camp but all covid tests have come back negative. Centre-half Luke McNally, impressive in defence and also scorer of two goals for the U21s in a 4-1 win over Luton on Tuesday travels with the squad.

THE OPPOSITION
A win against Bristol Rovers last time out made it eleven league games unbeaten for Lee Johnson's side, with a win in the final of the Papa John's Trophy in the middle of that run.
The Black Cats seem to be in a three way chase for the two automatic promotion places with Hull City and Peterborough and play the Posh away on Easter Monday.
