Michael Appleton, Oxford manager: "The players are in a really good place and they will go into the game full of confidence. It's an opportunity for them to express themselves against some of the best players in the country. We'll have to defend really well but if we start the game in the right manner and it gets into the latter stages even then who knows?"
