Todd Wiltshire returns to the Cheetahs line-up as they take on Poole Pirates in a Craven Shield clash at Oxford Stadium tonight (7.30), but Lukas Dryml has been ruled out with flu.
Former Cheetah Martin Dugard comes in as guest.
Rivalry between the two clubs has never been more intense since comments made in The Sun by Pirates' skipper Gary Havelock a few weeks ago.
Oxford suffered a real hammering at Wimborne Road in the first leg and will be out for revenge.
Poole are without Kris Cegielski and they have dropped Craig Watson for new sensation David Ruud.
Next Tuesday's vital Elite League B fixture at Ipswich on Tuesday is being covered by Sky Sports. Oxford hold a big lead from the first leg.
**Oxford: Andersen, Wiltshire, Dugard, Johnston, Adams, Appleton, A Dryml.
Poole: Havelock, Walasek, Rider-replacement, Andersen, Rickardsson, Gunnestad, Ruud.
