PETER Leven returns to the Oxford United starting line-up as Chris Wilder’s men take on Rotherham United at the Kassam Stadium.

The Scot plays despite concerns over a shoulder injury which needs an operation and is one of three changes to the starting line-up from last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Bradford City.

Liam Davis and Oli Johnson also come into the side in place of Anthony Tonkin, the suspended Damian Batt and Lee Holmes, whose loan from Southampton expired last Saturday.

Dean Morgan makes his home debut but Cristian Montano, who signed on loan from West Ham yesterday, has to make do with a place on the bench.

Oxford Utd: Clarke, Whing, Duberry, Wright, Davis, Hall, Leven, Chapman, Morgan, Rendell, Johnson

Substitutes: Brown, Worley, Wilson, Tonkin, Montano
