The Black Cats have been in excellent form with back-to-back wins on the road against Hull City and Luton Town, but Oxford have made a solid start to the campaign and Regis Le Bris will be aware of the dangers of any complacency. Le Bris faces a difficult dilemma in finding the balance between continuity and fresh legs - so here’s how we think he will go....
9. RW - Patrick Roberts
A surprise absentee on Wednesday as he was rested. Made a massive impact on the bench and little doubt he'll be straight back in the XI here. | Getty Images
10. LW - Romaine Mundle
Like Roberts, had an impact off the bench and Wednesday and will likely come straight into the team. | Frank Reid Photo: FRANK REID
11. ST - Wilson Isidor
Expect Isidor to return to his central striking role after his move out to the left didn't really work against Preston. Just looks slightly ahead of the other striking options in terms of his hold up play and goal threat right now. | Frank Reid
12. Sub - Aaron Connolly
Took a big step forward with his first start on Wednesday night but seems likely to return to the bench and a cameo role for this one. Photo: Charlie Crowhurst
