Oxford United v Histon

Chris Wilder's Oxford will be targeting a return to winning ways when 13th-placed Histon make the trip to Kassam Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Midfielder Adam Murray will miss out again with a troublesome back injury, while striker Jack Midson is expected to face former club Histon.

Matt Green is also pushing for a starting berth after bagging a goal in the defeat to Luton on Tuesday evening.

Meanwhile, Alan Lewer's Histon will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to four games after a midweek victory over Ebbsfleet at Stonebridge Road.

Gareth Gwillim, Erkan Okay, Adam Tann and Lanre Oyebanjo all face late fitness tests.

Goalkeeper Joe Welch is set to feature after returning from his loan spell at Weymouth.

Looking ahead to the clash, Lewer told Cambridge News: "The first thing we've got to do is quieten the crowd, and the first 20 minutes are important.

"We've got to go there and enjoy it and, hopefully, the big crowd will lift us more than it lifts Oxford.

"We're starting to get people who want the shirt now. It's important to me that the shirt's important to them.

"Hopefully they can raise their game tomorrow and we can get something."
