All over here. Oxford Utd 0, Bradford City 2
4:50pm
Four minutes of added time
4:35pm
Great save from Ryan Clarke to deny Will Atkinson
4:27pm
GOAL, Oxford 0, Bradford 2 (Wells 68)
4:20pm
Double change for Oxford. Leven and Rigg on for O'Brien and Heslop
4:18pm
Cox booked for a foul on Reid
4:17pm
United trying to get back into this, but are still to have a shot on target
4:13pm
Attendance here today is 6,032 (393 from Bradford)
4:11pm
GOAL: Oxford 0, Bradford 1 - Andrew Davies 51 minutes
4:08pm
Clarke saves Gary Jones's free-kick
4:05pm
Under way again here with no changes at half-time
3:47pm
Half-time here and it's 0-0. A fair reflection on a bitty opening period.
3:41pm
Both sides struggling to keep possession at the moment. A very scrappy encounter
3:34pm
Heslop manages a conversion - I mean shoots well over the bar
3:27pm
Good work from Damian Batt gives Tony Capaldi the chance to shoot - but his effort is well wide
3:20pm
Ryan Clarke has a let-off after rushing out his area in the 18th minute. Nahki Wells beat him to the ball, but United's keeper retreated quickly enough to save his shot.
3:08pm
Fair to say Bradford have started far the better. United struggling to get any notable possession and when they do get the ball, are giving it away very cheaply
3:02pm
Bradford force the first corner - inside 2 minutes
3:01pm
United kick-off are are attacking towards the open end. That could be crucial come the second half.
3:00pm
Ok, players are out. Not long to go now....United players in their pre-match huddle
2:53pm
Players are in the tunnel. Massive game this for Oxford - can they stop the rot?

Bradford expected to line up with a 4-4-2 system. McLaughlin; McCardle, Davies, Oliver, Meredith; Atkinson, Jones, Doyle, Reid, Wells, Hanson. Subs: Darby, Ravenhill, Thompson, Connell, Hines, McHugh
2:31pm
Both teams warming up in glorious sunshine. Both goalkeepers no doubt hoping the sun disappears before kick-off
2:18pm
To those of you not here yet, bring a coat. The sun is not as hot as you might think!
2:08pm
Thoughts on the United team? Do we reckon 4-3-3 with Cox, Heslop and Capaldi in midfield? Or 4-4-2 with Potter and Capaldi as wingers?
2:07pm
Oxford subs: Smalley, Rigg, Leven, Brown, Worley, Boateng, Marsh #oufc

An hour to kick-off here at the Kassam Stadium - what is the vibe ahead this game? How crucial is it for Oxford United's season?
