James Constable returned to Oxford United's starting line-up at Northampton today.

United's top scorer reclaimed his place from Jack Midson following two lively substitute performances.

The Cobblers were unable to include their new signing Shaun Harrad, who needed an operation on his mouth.

Oxford Utd: Clarke, Batt, Worley, Wright, Tonkin, Hall, McLaren, Clist, Constable, MacLean, Craddock. Subs: Sangare, Heslop, Midson, Deering, Eastwood, Green, Payne.
