Team News

Oxford
Stoke
  • Des Buckingham should have Elliott Moore available to start at the back, while Siriki Dembele could make his full league debut out wide.
  • Left-back Joe Bennett has been sidelined for the remainder of 2024 after picking up an injury during the game against Preston.
  • Tom Cannon should make his Stoke debut on Saturday afternoon, while central midfielder Tatsuki Seko could feature on the bench.
  • Jordan Thompson is expected back in time to face Oxford United, but Enda Stevens, Michael Rose and Jack Bonham are all doubts.

Prediction

  • Oxford United capitalised well on Liam Lindsay's second-half red card last time out, adding a third goal to their tally through Greg Leigh as they confirmed a 3-1 win against Preston on home soil.
  • Des Buckingham's side have a 100% record at the Kassam Stadium this season heading into gameweek five.
  • Stoke had winger Million Manhoef to thank in their last league outing as his 83rd-minute goal proved enough to see off Wayne Rooney's Plymouth side.
  • With Tom Cannon added to the squad at the end of the transfer window, the Potters now have a reliable goal threat, making them an exciting proposition for the 2024/25 campaign.
