Stats

Oxford United

  • United’s only point against Fleetwood came in a 1-1 draw at Highbury in 2013.
  • Cameron Brannagan is one booking away from his tenth of the season, which would trigger a two-game ban in League One.
  • The U’s could move out of the bottom four with a victory.

Fleetwood

  • The Cod Army are one of only three teams in the current top four divisions who have never lost to Oxford United (along with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur).
  • Fleetwood have lost their last two games at home, conceding eight goals – 5-2 v Portsmouth and 3-2 v AFC Wimbledon.
  • Ched Evans is suspended for the game – Town’s win rate this season with the striker playing is 41%, while without him it drops to 18%.
