TEAM NEWS
United look to make it six games unbeaten tonight as they welcome Hartlepool to the Kassam Stadium in Sky Bet League 2. The U's have kept four clean sheets in that five-game unbeaten run but are sure to be pushed all the way by a battling Hartlepool side fighting for survival.
Top scorer Danny Hylton picked up his tenth yellow card of the season during the 1-0 win at Bury and sits out tonight's game as the second and final game of his suspension.
Kemar Roofe replaced Hylton on Saturday and may well continue alongside Patrick Hoban, although James Roberts and Armand Gnanduillet are also in contention after coming on as subs in the 0-0 draw with Plymouth.
George Baldock and Johnny Mullins both took slight knocks on Saturday but are expected to be fit.

THE OPPOSITION
Hartlepool look to win back-to-back games for the first time this season after an excellent victory at Morecambe on Saturday.
"It was a fantastic performance on Saturday; every one of them who played shared in that success and did everything we asked of them,” said manager Ronnie Moore. “The clean sheet was a bonus because it gets that stat off our backs; we said before the game we wanted it to be like buses and two come along at once,, so let’s hope it can happen even though we know it will be tough.
“They’ve had a good run of form and had four clean sheets in the last five games – but that doesn’t last forever and if we can perform like we did on Saturday I believe we’re a match for anyone at this level.”
Moore switched to a 3-5-2 formation for the weekend triumph and will have to decide whether to make any changes for the visit to The Kassam Stadium.
“More than anything it’s going to be about us and our character again. At the end of the game on Saturday we all saw what the supporters were like and the feeling they had – we want more of that.
“It seems to happen every week that we give them some hope and then don’t deliver; that’s frustrating for the staff as well – so hopefully this time we can give them hope and deliver as well.”
