Derek Fazackerley says Oxford United’s FA Cup replay will not play a part in today’s selection.
The clash against Bury is the first of five games in just over a fortnight, but the assistant head coach is not looking at rotation ahead of the visit to Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday.
He said: “I don’t think so because the next game is the most important one.
“We have to try and get three points and then you look at the replay after that.”
