Alfie Doughty is making his first start for Luton since 6 November and his return cannot be underestimated.

His left-foot is the Hatters' most creative weapon and he has still created far more chances than any other Luton player despite his two-month absence.

He manages to send over a cross, but Mark McGuinness is well off target with his header.

Amari'i Bell gets into trouble at left-back as Duncan Watmore burrows past him, but the ball runs too far ahead of him as he gets into the box and Thomas Kaminski is able to gather.

The first moment of promise from either team.

It's a decent game, we (Oxford) seem to be on the front foot when going forward, lots of good stuff so far.

We need to make sure we don't get picked off in the midfield.

The only reason we will struggle today is if we give the ball away too cheaply.

He knows that's his day done and he has to be helped off the field. On in his place comes Aaron Connolly.

It's just his second substitute appearance for the Lions after his recent move from Sunderland.

Lively at both ends.

First real chance for Stoke comes in the extended aftermath of a first corner for the home side, Lewis Baker chipping a ball in from the left byline which an under-pressure Nathan Lowe glances about five yards wide with a rushed header.

Oxford respond almost immediately, Cameron Brannagan firing a left-foot shot from the edge of the box which Viktor Johansson dives to push around his left hand post.

Both these sides want to play out from the back but we are seeing a lot of possession being given away cheaply.

I'm not sure some of what we are seeing is particularly good for the blood pressure of the respective supporters.

It's hard to believe that only last season, Luton were going toe-to-toe with all the Premier League's big boys at Kenilworth Road.

Now back in the Championship, it just has not happened for them this term. They look like a team very short of confidence.

Oh Angus Gunn that is brilliant - the Norwich goalkeeper keeps his side level from point-blank range.

Swansea work a short corner before pinging in a wonderful cross for Florian Bianchini - the Frenchman thinks he's scored but Gunn brilliantly blocks the effort.

He may not have known too much about it but he made himself big.

Bright start from Oxford in similarly bright sunshine at the bet365 Stadium.

Siriki Dembele being upended outside the box gives an early free-kick from about 28 yards in a central position which Cameron Brannagan slams into the wall.

The Potters have responded well though to the early jabs from their in-form visitors, punching with a couple of counters of their own to make honours just about even after the first five or six minutes.

A header for Shane Duffy from a Norwich corner is saved comfortably by Lawrence Vigouroux but the home defender easily got above Josh Key to direct his effort on goal.

The sunshine is right in the eyes of the visiting defenders and goalkeeper which will not make it easy.

It's certainly a big game for Stoke here today.

Gary Rowett has done well to get Oxford out of that relegation zone, and they're playing well.

Stoke are anxiously close to the relegation zone at the moment, it's a chance with these next few fixtures to pull away.

Millwall look up for this early on as they try to get on the front foot attacking the end housing their supporters.

Those fans are in fine voice after catching the train up from Victoria this morning.

Beautiful (or should that be bootiful?) bright sunshine in Norfolk today and there's an early break down the right for Norwich's Onel Hernandez but his cross is cleared away.

The Canaries will be pleased to have Josh Sargent starting for the first time since 27 October while it'll be interesting to see how Burnley loanee Hannes Delcroix adjusts to coming straight into the Swansea side with Harry Darling suspended.

Millwall win the toss and opt to swap ends so Luton will attack the Kenilworth End in the first half.

It is not greeted too kindly by Hatters fans.

The usual pre-match preambles are over and it's time for the action to begin.

Who can make a decisive move in these three early kick-offs?

Stoke manager Mark Robins makes four changes from the side which lost 3-1 at Portsmouth on Wednesday with Ben Wilmot, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Tatsuki Seko and Niall Ennis dropping out.

Enda Stevens, Michael Rose, Nathan Lowe and Lynden Gooch are the replacements as Robins searches for a first league win.

For Oxford, Gary Rowett makes just two switches from the XI which beat Luton 3-2 on Tuesday with Ruben Rodrigues and Tom Bradshaw offering something different up front to Matt Phillips and Mark Harris who drop out.

Norwich City make two changes from the team brushed aside by Leeds United.

Full-back Lucien Mahovo comes in for his first start since joining from Notts County in the summer while Josh Sargent returns to the starting line-up with Ben Chrisene and Jack Stacey dropping to the bench.

There is one change for Swansea City as Harry Darling starts a three-match suspension so new signing Hannes Delcroix comes straight into the side.

New Luton boss Matt Bloomfield has rolled the dice in search of the winning formula for the Hatters.

Following Tuesday's 3-2 defeat at Oxford where they were ahead twice, he has made four alterations to his side.

In come captain Carlton Morris, Jacob Brown, Alfie Doughty and centre-half Mads Andersen.

Millwall's Alex Neil, who has probably only just calmed down after that late, late Cardiff equaliser in midweek, has opted for two switches.

Serbian Miha Ivanonic starts up front while there is a first start for new French defender Tristan Crama. Macaulay Langstaff and the injured Ryan Leonard are the two to drop out.

Last night's win for Hull City at Sheffield United has certainly got a few thinking at the bottom of the Championship.

With Cardiff meeting Derby today and Luton up against Millwall there are two huge games involving sides battling the drop.

Stoke are also struggling to get away from the bottom as they meet Oxford while Portsmouth visit West Brom and is it too late for Plymouth as they go to Sunderland?

So, are you confident your side will stay up? Or is your team in danger of getting dragged into trouble?

Just one of these teams carries momentum into this lunchtime kick-off and it is not the home side who can boast just one win in their past 14 league outings.

It has been a mixed start for new Potters boss Mark Robins with the former Coventry manager overseeing two draws and a defeat from three in the league but securing safe passage to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Drilling down into Stoke's results they have actually not been bad at home with only Burnley and Leeds leaving the bet365 Stadium with three points in 10 league starts at home and six draws.

In contrast, Oxford United have really taken off since the arrival of Gary Rowett on 22 December, unbeaten in seven in the league with five wins and two draws.

It has been such a turnaround that the U's have turned their sights from down to up with the club nearer the play-off places now (seven points away) than they are from the relegation struggle at the bottom (eight points).
