The U's meanwhile are seeking to bounce back to winning ways following their loss to Accrington Stanley, with Wanderers capable of doing the double over them this season should they pick up three points at the Kassam Stadium.

And Evatt has opted to make three changes from the side which won 2-1 against the Addicks in midweek.

James Trafford continues as goalkeeper while the back three is poised to line up as Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos and George Johnston, who returns to the starting XI.

The wing-backs today will be Marlon Fossey and Declan John.

In central midfield, MJ Williams will be in front of the defence acting as an anchor, with Aaron Morley and Kieran Lee in front of him.

And upfront, Evatt has opted go with a partnership of Dion Charles and Amadou Bakayoko.

On the bench this afternoon for Wanderers are Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Xavier Amaechi, Will Aimson, Dapo Afolayan, Kieran Sadlier, Alex Baptiste and Kyle Dempsey, as Evatt opts against naming a goalkeeper in the substitutes.
