Leeds United once again slipped on their travels last week and need to get back to winning ways when they take on Oxford United.
Daniel Farke’s side have struggled on the road this season and endured another difficult trip to Lancashire last week, with only a last-gasp Mateo Joseph leveller salvaging a point against Preston.
Leeds United have conceded ground to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United at the top of the Championship table as a result but have a chance to get back on track against Oxford.
The Us are in a relegation battle and sacked manager Des Buckingham in the week, with Gary Rowett expected to take over.
Here is everything you need to know about the fixture.

Leeds United vs Oxford United team news
Leeds look in a bit of bother defensively ahead of the game as the reliable Pascal Struijk is dealing with a hamstring strain that has him at a 50-50 chance of making the match.
In addition, Max Wober is also a doubt after dealing with an issue this week and Junior Firpo remains sidelined, which really strains Farke’s options at the back.
Ilia Gruev is also still injured.

Prediction
Leeds may struggle on their travels but they have been imperious at home and up against a troubled Oxford who haven’t had a manager all week, they should win comfortably.
Prediction: Leeds 3-0 Oxford
