PREVIEW Oxford United v Port Vale

Oxford United welcome Port Vale to the Kassam Stadium in Sky Bet League 1 on Saturday (3pm)

TEAM NEWS
United are without the suspended Cameron Brannagan after his fifth yellow card of the season while Djavan Anderson and Kyle Joseph are ruled out through injuries sustained in the draw at Shrewsbury on Wednesday evening.

Steve Seddon returns to the squad after his own suspension and could replace Anderson at right-back in the absence of Sam Long who should be back in training next week, while Lewis Bate stands by to replace Brannagan in the middle of the park.

See Karl and Billy Bodin previewing the game in iFollow.

 

THE OPPOSITION

Darrell Clarke’s side are in 11th place in the table on 23 points and have continued the momentum since they won promotion last season.

There will be two familiar faces in their squad. Jack Stevens has been in good form since joining from the U’s on loan but will have to watch from the stands tomorrow as he is ineligible to play against his parent club.

Meanwhile Vale’s Assistant Manager Andy Crosby returns to the club he used to proudly skipper.
