Mitchell Cole and Alfie Potter were given starting roles for Oxford United in their Carling Cup tie at West Ham tonight.

The team was otherwise as expected, with Ben Purkiss at right back, and the same midfield three that has started the season.

Scott Parker captained the Hammers side, which had six changes from the team beaten by Bolton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Oxford Utd: Clarke, Purkiss, Worley, Wright, Tonkin, Heslop, Bulman, Hall, Cole, Constable, Potter.
