Oxford United look like they are safe from relegation, but in the actual sense, they can still get relegated because they are just six points off the drop zone with just four matches left to play this season. They will still play Cardiff City, Sunderland, and Swansea City. The U's are 17th on the table with 48 points in 42 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 60. While relegation looks nearer than we can see, I still expect Oxford to avoid relegation, although they may not pick up any points in this clash. They have won three of their last five games and remain unbeaten in seven of their last ten games at home.
Oxford United: Lineup
With relegation just a stone’s throw away, Gary Rowett will pick his best team in this clash which will likely feature the 4-2–3-1 formation that will have Jamie Cumming man the pool with Ben Nelson and Michal Helik standing in the heart of the defense with Will Vaulks, Alex Matos, and Stanley Mills providing the needed passes for Tom Bradshaw upfront.
🔖 Oxford United starting lineup (4-2–3-1)
Goalkeeper – Jamie Cumming

Leeds United: Form and statistics
Before their recent struggles, Leeds United had a high probability of winning the Championship this season; however, that is no longer the case. They remain top of the table but are tied on the same 88 points with Burnley. The Whites have scored 82 goals and conceded 29. However, I think they are in a better position to win all their remaining fixtures, which include games against Stoke City, Bristol City, and Plymouth. They remain unbeaten in their last six games and 11 of their last 12 games on the road.
Leeds United: Lineup
Leeds United will still be without Joe Rothwell for this clash due to injury. Daniel James, who is a candidate for the EFL Championship Player of the Year, is also ruled out. However, both players are expected to return to action for Monday's game against Stoke City. Daniel Farke will continue with his 4-2-3-1 formation and is likely to keep Karl Darlow in goal, with Illan Meslier relegated to the bench.
🔖Leeds United starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper – Karl Darlow
Defenders – Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, Júnior Firpo
Midfielders – Wilfried Gnonto, Ao Tanaka, Brenden Aaronson, Ilia Gruev, Manor Solomon
Attackers — Joël Piroe
⛔️ Out: Daniel James (injury), Joe Rothwell (calf injury), Sam Chambers (inactive).
👤 Head coach: Daniel Farke
