EDDIE Anaclet returns to Oxford United's starting line-up against Ebbsfleet United today, boosted by his goal when coming off the bench last weekend.

oAnd there could be a return for another Eddie, midfielder Hutchinson, after he came through the midweek friendly at Aldershot following a back spasm injury.

Anaclet replaces Matt Day, who serves a one-game ban for five bookings, while Hutchinson could be the one to fill the void left by Stefan Bailey's return to QPR at the end of his month's loan.

There are not expected to be many other changes after the U's got off to a winning start under new boss Darren Patterson in the FA Cup against Northwich Victoria last weekend.

Said Carl Pettefer: "I thought we played really well last week. That's something to build on now. We set the standard last Saturday and that's what we've got to carry on playing like and improve every week."

Ebbsfleet have lost their last two games, but have not played for a fortnight because they were knocked out of the FA Cup 3-1 by Exeter in the fourth qualifying round.

Manager LiamDaish must make at least one change to his squad because 30-year-old South African right back Warren Goodhind, who had a spell on loan at Oxford, has left and is expected to join Blue Square South side Eastleigh.

Meanwhile, Day's knee injury, collected during training the day before England C's match against Finland in Helsinki this week, is not thought to be too bad.

Physio Neil Sullivan said: "He's got some swelling in the joint, but it's nothing too serious. The initial signs are good.

"I think it just happened when he extended his knee in a challenge. He was on the bench for the game, but wouldn't have been in a position to play in it."
