Oxford United are confident today's game will be on, with rain having thawed out the remaining snow on the pitch.

The U's are one of only two clubs in the Nationwide League - the others are Division 2 promotion-chasers QPR - boasting an unbeaten home record.

But 19th-placed Kidderminster have conceded only 16 goals in their 14 away games this season.

Abdou Sall, who walked out on the U's in a row over not being paid travelling expenses, has been training with Kidderminster, but is not expected to feature.

Ian Atkins could replace Paul Wanless with Dave Waterman, while Lee Steele is in line for his first game of the season, following a cruciate knee injury.

Another possible switch would be to recall Jon Ashton to the defence, but the Oxford manager is unlikely to make too many changes for fear of disrupting the rhythm the side built up when playing well together.

Oxford United: (from) Woodman, McNiven, McCarthy, Crosby, Bound, Robinson, Whitehead, Wanless, Hunt, Basham, Foran, Steele, Waterman, Ashton, Rawle, Brown, Louis.

Kidderminster Harriers: (probable) Brock, Gadsby, Hinton, Hatswell, Stamps, Ward, Williams, Murray, Bennett, Christiansen, Henriksen. Subs: Danby, J Williams, Smith, Rickards, Parrish.
