When is Oxford United vs Sunderland, is it on TV and can I get tickets?

Sunderland's superb League One form will face another tough test when they take on Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday.

Fresh from two home victories over Ipswich Town and Rochdale, the Black Cats will head south in confident mood.

But Karl Robinson's side have already shown they are a force to be reckoned with, taking Newcastle to an FA Cup replay, and beating Sunderland earlier this season on penalties in a Carabao Cup clash.

However, they have only won one League One game in 2020 and needed a late Matty Taylor goal to earn a draw with Burton on Tuesday.

When is Oxford vs Sunderland?

The match will take place on Saturday, February 15, when the action will kick off at 3pm.

Is Oxford vs Sunderland on TV? How can I follow it live?

The match will not be shown live for UK residents, however those outside of the UK can live stream the match with a qualifying pass.

If you aren't able to make it down to Oxford to see the match in person, we will be keeping you up to date with all the action with team news, live updates, reaction and analysis.

 

Can you still buy tickets?

No, Sunderland have sold out their away allocation for this fixture.

What are the injury concerns? Who is in the teams?

The Black Cats' Chris Maguire came off in their win over Rochdale earlier this week, but looks like he will still be pushing for a place in this weekend's fixture. 

Oxford's new signing Liam Kelly picked up an injury during the first half of the match against Burton. His replacement, Alex Rodriguez Gorrin, picked up his 10th yellow card of this season, so he is currently suspended.

Sunderland likely XI:   McLaughlin, Willis, Wright, Flanagan; O'Nien, Power, Dobson, Hume; Gooch, Wyke, Maguire.

Oxford likely XI:   Eastwood, Dickie, Long, Mousinho, Ruffles, Branagan, Sykes, Holland, Forde, Taylor, Henry.

Who is the referee?

Kevin Johnson will take charge of this one,.

He was the referee for Sunderland's 1-0 defeat to Wycombe in Phil Parkinson's first game in charge.

Last time out, he sent Fleetwood manager Joey Barton to the stands.

What are the bookies saying?

Oxford: 17/10

Sunderland: 8/5

Draw: 2/1
