Preview: Oxford Utd vs Man City
Hosts Oxford United couldn't be any more different than their upcoming visitors Manchester City. They're currently playing in League One, where they sit in eighth place. They come into this game in a mini slump after winning their last four games across all competitions, having lost one and drawn two of their last three games and will be hoping to get back on track but will face a tough task by welcoming Pep Guardiola's side to Kassam Stadium.
Even more concerning is the fact that they'll be dealing with a slew of injury issues. Top marksman James Henry is a major doubt after missing the team's recent loss to fellow League One side MK Dons due to a thigh injury.
Meanwhile, Manchester City come into this game having beaten Arsenal 3-0, and will want to warm up for their clash against second-placed Leicester City with securing their spot in the next round of the League Cup. The Citizens haven't lost any of their last five visits to Oxford United and notably won this same fixture 3-0 last season.
