Oxford United vs Sheffield Utd

Oxford won this exact fixture 1-0 in April, but haven’t beaten Sheffield United in consecutive league meetings since October 1984.

Having won just one of their first 10 away league games against Oxford between 1969 and 1996 (D4 L5), Sheffield United have now won three of their last four visits to the U’s (L1).

Following a 3-1 win against Bristol City last time out, Oxford are looking to win consecutive league games for the first time since January.

Sheffield United have lost all six of their league games so far this season. Since the rebrand in 2004, only two teams have lost each of their first seven to start a Championship campaign – Peterborough United in 2012-13 and Wycombe Wanderers in 2020-21.

Oxford have scored more set-piece goals than any other side in the Championship this season (excl. pens), with seven of their nine strikes coming from a set play.
