Oxford United Travel to Stoke<\/h2>\n

Team News, Form and Prediction<\/h3>\n

The new head coach remains unbeaten in the league, picking up 17 points from seven games. In addition, the U’s have also picked up their first away win since Rowett took over.<\/p>\n

As for Stoke, they picked up two successive draws since Mark Robins came in but did win on the road at Sunderland in the FA Cup. However, the new head coach remains winless in the league after a midweek defeat at Portsmouth. The Potters now have just one win from their last 13 league games.<\/p>\n

Tyler Goodrham is available after missing the last three games through suspension, while Ruben Rodrigues was handed a much-needed rest after feeling tightness in his hamstring. Elliott Moore remains the only absentee through injury.<\/p>\n

Stoke are without several players, including Million Manhoef, Jordan Thompson, Eric Bocat and Sam Gallagher, while top-scorer Tom Cannon has been recalled from his loan by Leicester. Ben Gibson is also a doubt.<\/p>\n

Stoke have managed just four wins from 14 at home this season. The Potters have picked up six draws on home soil but are the fourth-worst home side in the division.<\/p>\n

Oxford won the reverse fixture at Grenoble Road in what was a first meeting in 23 years. Stoke were unbeaten in the previous three meetings, drawing twice, but that solitary victory came in the Potteries.<\/p>\n

Predicted line-up: Jamie Cumming, Greg Leigh, Ciaron Brown, Michal Helik, Peter Kioso, Will Vaulks, Cameron Brannagan, Siriki Dembele, Ruben Rodrigues, Przemyslaw Placheta, Tom Bradshaw.<\/p>\n
