Oxford United’s under 18s are in home action again this Saturday when they welcome Yeovil Town in Merit League 1.
The U’s are currently top of the table but it is incredibly close with AFC Wimbledon just one point behind and League 2 side Swindon three behind with a game in hand and playing the U’s in the final game of the season (United's other remaining game is away at Southend United)
Saturday’s game will kick off at 11.30am rather than the usual 11am to allow Yeovil a little extra travel time and admission is free at Abingdon United’s Northcourt Road.
The U’s will be without the injured Ryan Crooks and with the first team missing Ahmed Kashi and Marcus Browne through suspension Karl Robinson told iFollow this morning that he will weigh up whether to give the under 18s a chance to step up, given that they are also fighting to win their league.
