Game on!

We will now have a minute's applause for Jim Smith - who died last week.

He took Oxford into the top flight.

A reminder of tonight's sides...

Oxford manager Karl Robinson: "You'll always have a chance but it's obvious the gulf in the teams. We have to enjoy the challenge and embrace the opportunity to play one of the best teams in the world.

"This is as difficult as it gets. I love City's style, Pep is at the top of the tree."

A horrible, miserable night in Oxford. Wet and windy. A test for City - but one you'd expect them to navigate despite making changes.

Final Score

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to MUTV: "We are looking forward to it.

"We put a strong team out away at Chelsea in the last round and knew we had to. It is a competition that we want to go all the way in.

"When we look back to last week against AZ Alkmaar, we made nine changes then and they have made everyone aware of the quality in our squad. We know we have a good squad.

"Today is about giving some players more minutes, we know Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic have been out for a while so we need them to get fitter."
