Oxford United travel to Wigan on Tuesday night as they look to extend their unbeaten run to seven games.

The U’s saw their five-game winning run come to an end with a draw against Blackpool last time out.

Wigan picked up their first league win in five with a 2-0 victory over Exeter. Despite that, the Latics remain in the bottom four with eight points from 12 games.

Oxford were without Cameron Brannagan through illness with Liam Manning confirming before the game that others were struggling. Oisin Smyth is available after his one-game suspension.

The Latics are without top scorer Charlie Wyke and fellow forward Callum Lang, with both missing through injury.

This fixture ended in a 1-1 draw when the sides last met. The U’s are also unbeaten in their last two visits to the DW Stadium.

Predicted line-up: James Beadle, Greg Leigh, Ciaron Brown, Elliott Moore, Sam Long, Stanley Mills, Marcus McGuane, Josh McEachran, Billy Bodin, Ruben Rodrigues, Mark Harris.

Prediction: Wigan Athletic 0-1 Oxford United
