Oxford United welcome Hull City for a crucial encounter with ramifications at both ends of the table on Friday (kick-off 15:00 BST).
The U's had been on a four-game unbeaten run (W3 D1) before their defeat to Southampton last time out and are 23rd but just one point adrift of safety.
The play-off chasing Tigers beat bottom side Sheffield Wednesday before the international break but have lost three of their past five games.
Hull are fifth, three points clear of seventh-placed Wrexham and five points behind the automatic promotion places.
Oxford have won just one of their previous six league games against Hull (D1 L4), though it did come in this exact fixture last season (1-0).
Following their 3-2 win in August, Hull are looking to complete their third league double over Oxford United after 1965-66 and 1975-76.
Oxford are unbeaten in their past three home league games (W2 D1), having failed to win (D2 L3) or score in any of their previous five at the Kassam Stadium.
No side has won more away games in the Championship than Hull City this season (10), though the Tigers have lost two of their past three on the road.
Oliver McBurnie has been involved in more goals than any other Championship player this season (20 – 13 goals, 7 assists). He's the first Hull player to reach 20 goal involvements in a Championship campaign since Jarrod Bowen in 2019-20 (23).
