Oxford could go top of the Kingstone Press Championship One table if they beat fellow newcomers Hemel Stags at Iffley Road on Sunday (3).

Hemel come into the game on the back of three straight wins, while Oxford look to record their first success on home turf.

Captain Alex Thompson, who came off after 20 minutes in their win at Oldham, is ruled out through injury, along with Luke Evans, who broke his ankle in a match against the RAF.

JJ Baird (back) is also missing.

Oxford: Hoggins, B Robinson, Onyango, Clarke, Halliwell, Price, Ellison, Stevens, Osborn, Clough, Leather, Calladine, Fiander, Roden, Hadden, Johnson, Morris, S Robinson, Connick, Bentley.
