Prediction

  • Gary Rowett's tenure in charge of Oxford United did not get off to the ideal start as his new side were hammered 4-0 by promotion-chasing Leeds at Elland Road.
  • The U's have taken just a single point from the last 21 available and are now only clear of 24th place on goal difference.
  • Cardiff were heading towards an impressive point against league leaders Sheffield United in gameweek 22, but two goals in the final half-hour sent the Bluebirds home empty-handed.
  • Ömer Riza has experienced little joy since taking over on a permanent basis, and the visitors have now dropped into the relegation zone.
