We look ahead to tonight's big match at the Kassam Stadium

TEAM NEWS
United will wait on the fitness of two or three players before announcing their team to face Northampton Town at the Kassam Stadium tonight. Patrick Hoban is the biggest doubt with a dead leg suffered in the 0-0 draw at Wimbledon on Saturday but Andy Whing and George Baldock also took blows in that game and will face late fitness tests.
Kyle Vassell, who replaced Hoban on Saturday, is the likely replacement should the Irish striker not make it while young James Roberts is likely to return to the bench.
Jamie Ashdown makes his home debut after doing well in goal on Saturday and keeping a clean sheet on his debut.
See interviews with Johnny Mullins and Michael Appleton plus a full Preview Show in which Chris Allen discusses the youth team season in Yellow Player, where we also have full commentary on the whole game.

THE OPPOSITION
Cobblers boss Chris Wilder believes that his side's promotion push was dealt a major blow with defeat against Stevenage at the weekend but that won't stop his side giving their all as he returns to the Kassam Stadium tonight
“We’ve got to accept the fact we’ve given ourselves too much to do but we have an obligation to ourselves, the league and our supporters to keep going right to the last minute of the last game,” the former U's boss said. “We’ve pushed it right to the end, it has been a pretty up and down season for us and perhaps ultimately we will be a little bit disappointed that we haven’t finished in the play-offs because you always want to achieve.
“We want to win and we want to drive this club forward and we will work hard through these last four games and through the summer to make sure that we hit the ground running at the start of next season. We are still re-building and we will be better next year. There are certain aspects we need to work on, our defensive record hasn’t been good enough this year and that was highlighted again in the game on Saturday. I’m looking for the group to kick on and I’ll be looking at the players to see if they’ve got that drive from within and those that don’t won’t be playing here next season.”
