Team News

Oxford
Blackburn
  • Gary Rowett will be forced into a change this weekend with Jordan Thorniley set to replace the injured Sam Long.
  • Oxford United were unsuccessful in appealing Tyler Goodrham's red card, so the winger will miss the visit of Blackburn.
  • Makhtar Gueye scored from the bench against Portsmouth in midweek and could be rewarded with a start here.
  • Kyle McFadzean missed the game against Portsmouth due to illness and is a doubt for this fixture.

Prediction

  • Will Vaulks' first-half opener was cancelled out by a Rami Al-Hajj goal on Tuesday night in a game between Plymouth and Oxford United that neither side could afford to lose. The U's remain unbeaten in the league under new manager Gary Rowett and sit six points clear of the relegation zone.
  • Blackburn turned on the style against a struggling Portsmouth side in the second half in midweek, scoring three times in a 16-minute spell to seal a 3-0 home win. That victory ended a five-match winless streak and moved John Eustace's men up to fifth in the standings.
