Team News
Boss Karl Robinson will give his players a chance to recover after a tough game against Southend on Boxing Day in which Marcus Browne and Jamie Hanson both took knocks. The pair are expected to be OK to resume while Shandon Baptiste and Samir Carruthers are making good progress after injury and will be available soon.
Ricky Holmes is not expected to be available after his back injury, while Rob Hall and Jon Obika remain on the long-term injured list.
The Opposition
Caretaker boss Graham Coughlan is now the odds on favourite to take the job permanently after two wins from his three games in charge, with former U's midfielder Chris Hargreaves providing support.
“If anybody wants this job they will have to fight me for it" he told the Bristol Post "but who knows I may not be here in the morning. I just don’t know what is going to happen. But if I keep winning I give myself a little chance.
“If I don’t stick around I’ll obviously be unemployed and no man wants to be unemployed, so I am going to try and work my damnedest to try and turn the heads of the powers that be in my favour. It is hell of a club and it is a hell of an opportunity, but I’m a fighter and a battler and that is what I will bring to the table.”
