As for the Blades, they’ve won three of their last four league games with the other result being a 5-3 defeat at Wrexham on Boxing Day. Chris Wilder’s side have moved away from the bottom three after a poor start to the season under previous head coach, Ruben Selles.<\/p>\n

Oxford have three new injury concerns for this game. Nik Prelec missed the trip to Portman Road with a groin injury while Tyler Goodrham and Przemyslaw Placheta were both forced off in the game. They join Matt Phillips, Cameron Brannagan, Hidde ter Avest and Ben Davies on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

The U’s could also feature new signing Jamie Donley with the Spurs youngster joining on loan on Friday.<\/p>\n

Sheffield United are without Ben Mee, Chiedozie Ogbene, Sydie Peck and Tom Davies who are all out with injury.<\/p>\n

Callum O’Hare took his goal tally to seven against Leicester last time out while Will Lankshear also ended his ten-game goal drought in Oxford’s loss at Ipswich, and he sits on six.<\/p>\n

The Blades won the reverse fixture in what was their first win of the season after a run of six straight league losses. They also won this fixture 3-0 last season and have picked up ten victories in their last 12 meetings.<\/p>\n
