Leading scorer Steve Basham should be fit to play for United at Darlington today.

The striker had blurred vision following a clash in the game at Torquay on Monday.

Barry Quinn, the midfielder who is on loan from Coventry until the end of the season, could be involved for the first time under Graham Rix after returning to training following a groin injury.

Darlington have a major doubt over defender Craig Liddell, who has missed the last two games.

The Quakers have been playing a 3-4-3 formation with 12-goal Barry Conlon supported up front by Danny Graham, on loan from Middlesbrough, and Neil Teggart, on loan from Sunderland.

Manager Dave Hodgson and his assistant Martin Gray, the former U's midfielder, have set a 40-points target to secure safety.

Darlington have 36 points, so need four more from their last four games.

Darlington: (probable) Price, McGurk, Hutchinson, Clarke, Convery, Maddison, Wainwright, Valentine, Conlon, Graham, Teggart. Subs from: Keltie, Norton, Clark, Russell, Close, Hughes.

Oxford Utd: (from) Woodman, Waterman, Ashton, Crosby, Bound, Hackett, Whitehead, Wanless, Hunt, Brown, Basham, McNiven, Rawle, Pitt, Walker, McCarthy, Quinn, Alsop, Robinson, Cox.
