Dean Morgan comes straight into the Oxford United starting line-up for his debut as Chris Wilder’s side look to strengthen their promotion credentials at Bradford City.

The forward, who signed on loan from Chesterfield on Thursday, replaces Oli Johnson.

It is the only change to the starting line-up from Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury Town as the U’s attempt to extend a run of form which has seen them lose just once in 15 games.

Johnson drops to the bench, alongside Mark Wilson, who has recovered from an ankle injury.

Mehdi Kerrouche and Tyrone Marsh drop out of the squad altogether.

Bradford, who won the corresponding fixture 5-0 last season, have drawn their last five home games and sit 18th in the npower League Two table – 11 places behind the U’s.

Oxford: Clarke, Batt, Duberry, Wright, Tonkin, Chapman, Hall, Whing, Holmes, Rendell, Morgan

Substitutes: Brown, Worley, Davis, Johnson, Wilson
