Oxford News and Form

Oxford are on a three-match winning streak at the moment and will, therefore, be in a great frame of mind to challenge in this one. They have won their last two home games, both 3-0 successes in league action. They have been scoring really well have the U’s as they have netted at least two goals in each of their last four games. They are undefeated in their last eight games in all competitions now.

In this season’s League Cup they have played all three of their ties at home. They opened with wins over Peterborough and Millwall, but then came their big success. They then thumped Premier League side West Ham 4-0 at the Kassam Stadium. That was a tremendous result for them and shows what they are capable of. Oxford have won through in four of their last five home ties in the League Cup.

Sunderland News and Form

Sunderland have been struggling to get their consistency going. They have taken a poor W1 L3 record in their last four games played and in each of those defeats, they failed to hit the back of the net. They have lost each of their last three away games as well, all again without having scored a single goal. So they haven’t quite been on their game have the Black Cats.

They do have away from going under their belt in the League Cup. All three games that they have played in this season’s competition have been away from the Stadium of Light, and they have won each of them in 90 minutes. They too have beaten Premier League opposition, as they took a 1-0 win in the last round against Sheffield United. The Black Cats have lost just to their last nine away ties in the League Cup.
