Oxford United welcome Exeter City to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday in the second round of the Emirates FA Cup (3pm)
TEAM NEWS
United have skipper Elliott Moore available again after an ankle injury. The centre-back returned to full training yesterday and is back in the squad, as is Jodi Jones who has returned from international duty with Malta.
Billy Bodin and Cameron Brannagan have benefitted from a week with no midweek game and should be available despite taking knocks in the draw with Forest Green Rovers last weekend while Yanic Wildschutt could return to training next week as he completes his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained in pre-season.
Stuart Findlay and Elliott Moore both give us their thoughts on the game in this week's Preview Show in iFollow.
THE OPPOSITION
Gary Caldwell has taken over at Exeter since the two teams met in the league a month ago. Caldwell won the FA Cup with Wigan Athletic and believes his side are much improved since United's 4-2 win in October.
"I watched that game before I came in, but I watched it back this week. Normally if a game was a long time ago I wouldn't, but i felt because it wasn't long ago it was relevant," he told the official Exeter website.
"We will relay the information we found, as a coaching staff, to the players so that we are better prepared for Saturday.
"The FA Cup is special because anyone can win it. There are iconic clips of special goals, and obviously in 2013 I will never forget that moment when Ben Watson glanced the ball on. Now we have to try and make our own memories as a squad and give ourselves the opportunity to have those games against the bigger sides."
