Oxford United welcome Maidenhead United to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday in the Emirates FA Cup First Round (3pm)
Liam Manning's team take a break from their League 1 campaign to take on Alan Devonshire's National League side with a place in the Second Round draw the prize at stake.
TEAM NEWS
United will be without Sam Long who picked up an ankle injury early in the win at Lincoln on Tuesday. The defender will be out of action for a few weeks but United could have Stephan Negru and James Henry in the squad again after injury. Kyle Edwards and Marcus Browne are now just a couple of weeks away from a return to training.
James Golding, currently on loan to Maidenhead, is ineligible to play against his parent club.

THE OPPOSITION
Maidenhead boss Alan Devonshire knows all about the magic of the FA Cup having won it with West Ham in 1980 - his cross allowing Trevor Brooking to score the winner.
Since then he has been in charge of Maidenhead for two spells, racking up well over 700 games as Manager with successful spells at Hampton & Richmond and Braintree Town in between
A 3-2 win over Eastleigh last weekend lifted the Magpies to 17th in the National League.
The teams have met three times before, all in the FA Cup with the last meeting a 6-1 win for the U's back in 1958.
