    Oxford United host Leicester City on Saturday early afternoon (12:30 BST) in a bid to claim their first victory of the season.

    The U's have only one point to their name after their opening four league games, though they did gain it last time out with a 2-2 draw against Coventry City.

    They will look to do one better against Leicester, who have won all but one of their league games so far (L1) to sit one point above the Sky Blues in fourth place.

    It's been over three decades since the two sides last met in the English Football League - who will claim the first bragging rights of the 21st century?

    • This will be the first Football League meeting between Oxford United and Leicester City since a 2-2 draw in the second tier in April 1994.

    • Five of Leicester City's last seven Football League trips to Oxford United have ended in a draw (W1 L1), with both sides scoring in five of those games.

    • Oxford have only won four of their last 22 league games (W4 D7), picking up the fewest points of any ever-present Championship side in that time (19 points since 22nd January).

    • Leicester have won six of their last eight Championship games (L2), while the Foxes could record three successive league clean sheets for the first time since October 2022 in the Premier League.

    • After a run of 15 games without a goal, Abdul Fatawu has scored in consecutive league appearances for Leicester for the first time.
