Preview

Oxford United took their chances when they came in gameweek five as Mark Harris' brace set up an eye-catching 4-0 away win against recently relegated Leicester. The U's have lost just one of their first four League One matches under new boss Aaron Ramsey.

Burton Albion remain the surprise package of the League One season so far after retaining their spot in the play-offs with a 2-2 draw against Cambridge United last time out. The Brewers have lost only one of their last five League One games, leaving them fifth in the standings.
