Oxford United will be looking to build from their recent win over Fleetwood when the U’s travel to Burton.

Des Buckingham’s side won 4-0 against the Cod Army and have taken seven points from their last three games.

The Brewers lost 3-1 at home against Barnsley last time out and have failed to win in their last nine league games. They have also lost their last six home games, scoring just twice.

Oxford could welcome back Will Goodwin from injury but Mark Harris will probably keep him out of the side after he scored a brace against Fleetwood. Des Buckingham has no other injury concerns.

Oxford comfortably won the reverse fixture but Burton won this match last season. The U’s picked up victories in each of their previous six meetings and hadn’t lost in seven before that defeat at the Pirelli Stadium.

Predicted line-up: Jamie Cumming, Joe Bennett, Ciaron Brown, Elliott Moore, Sam Long, Cameron Brannagan, Billy Bodin, Ruben Rodrigues, Josh Murphy, Owen Dale, Mark Harris.

Prediction: Burton Albion 0-2 Oxford United
