Oxford United travel to Cheltenham Town on Saturday in Sky Bet League 1
TEAM NEWS
United are still without Marcus McGuane with a hip problem although he has returned to the training pitches this week and should be back soon. Both Sam Winnall and Elliott Moore are rated doubtful after missing last weekend's draw at home to Wycombe but Sam Long made his return as a sub in that game and is again in the squad for Saturday.

THE OPPOSITION
Cheltenham boss Michael Duff has seen his side start strongly after promotion and admits that a win at Charlton last weekend has left him with selection problems for Saturday’s starting XI:
"The players have given us decisions to make," he said. "Whatever the team is or the shape is it will be thought out. We will pick a team that we think is right for Oxford. Players have put their hands up and said pick me, so that's all you can ask for.
"We are not going to get carried away because we had a good 45 minutes at Charlton. They (Oxford) are a good team. They're in the top four or five for everything in the league. It is going to be a difficult game. We can pass the ball and get results against bigger teams - that's what we get from last week - but we don't kid ourselves that we've made it."
The Robins have some familiar faces in the squad including striker Kyle Vassell, midfielder Liam Sercombe and defender Charlie Raglan.
