Oxford United host Derby County at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday in the Championship. The hosts are enjoying a positive run of results in their first season back in the second tier since the 1998-99 campaign, sitting 11th in the standings with 13 points from 10 matches.
They drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion in their last game. Oxford looked set for their first home defeat of the season before Tottenham Hotspur loanee Dane Scarlett came off the bench to head home the equaliser in additional time.
Like their midweek opponents, Derby have also performed commendably on promotion as they remain on course for survival. They drew 1-1 with Millwall on Saturday. Jerry Yates opened the scoring from close range late on before conceding the equaliser.
