Oxford United will be looking to continue their bright start to the season when they travel to Coventry on Friday night.

The U’s kicked off the new campaign with a 2-0 win over Norwich before progress in the Carabao Cup with the same scoreline over Peterborough.

The Sky Blues lost their Championship opener at Stoke but bounced back with a 1-0 win over Liam Manning’s Bristol City in the Cup.

Des Buckingham made eight changes for the Posh fixture, while Mark Robins made nine for his trip to Gloucestershire.

Dane Scarlett could be in contention to make his Oxford debut after his arrival of loan from Tottenham.

Coventry have made some big signings this summer, including Jack Rudoni and Brandon Thomas-Asante.

These two sides met in the FA Cup last season with the Sky Blues running out 6-2 winners at the Ricoh Arena. However, the U’s won on their previous trip to Coventry in the league.

Predicted line-up: Jamie Cumming, Joe Bennett, Ciaron Brown, Elliott Moore, Sam Long, Will Vaulks, Cameron Brannagan, Idris El Mizouni, Malcolm Ebiowei, Tyler Goodrham, Mark Harris.

Prediction: Coventry City 1-1 Oxford United
