Preview

Oxford United have endured a nightmare summer on their return to the third tier after last season's relegation with transfer restrictions limiting their role in the market. A 2-0 defeat to Leyton Orient in the Carabao Cup has dampened spirits further as Aaron Ramsey prepares for a tough year with a thin squad.

MK Dons are looking to follow in the footsteps of Bradford City, backing up a League Two promotion with a top-six finish the following year. The Dons have been characteristically ambitious in the transfer market and in Paul Warne, they have a manager with plenty of League One success on his resume.
