Lee Henderson serves a one-match suspension when Witney United travel to Shortwood on Saturday looking to avenge an earlier season defeat.
Shortwood and Hungerford head Witney in the FTL Futbol Hellenic League Premier Division, and should Witney slip up, it would seemingly leave them too far behind to have any hopes of honours.
Shortwood won 1-0 at Witney in November.
Dean Moss has returned from a business trip aboard, while JP Mills has recovered from back injury.
Kidlington are without Mark Baker (knee) and James Philpott (ankle) for their home game with Old Woodstock Town.
Kidlington have won seven out of their last eight matches, but joint managers Matt Hayward and Kelvin Alexis will warn their team against complacency, as Woodstock have knocked Kidlington out of the Challenge Cup.
Abingdon Town’s home clash with Ardley United is in serious doubt, as their pitch is waterlogged.
Should it be on, Abingdon give a late fitness test to Luke Beauchamp (hamstring), while Ben Green will return.
Hook Norton are without the suspended trio of Ricky Johnson, Craig Pearman and Lee Harris for their home clash with Pegasus Juniors.
In Division 1 West, Headington Amateurs host high-flying Wootton Bassett Town.
Clanfield are set to give a debut to former Carterton player Adam Little for their trip to Trowbridge Town.
However, striker Steve Knight (work) will miss the trip, but Olly Oswin and Kieran Davis return.
