Oxford United will try to get back to earning points when they visit Sheffield United on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) as they fight against relegation.
The U's three league match undefeated streak came to an end on the weekend after being bested by Birmingham City.
It keeps them five points away from safety, nine below their hosts.
- Sheffield United have won nine of their last 12 league meetings with Oxford United (L3), after winning six of their first 17 matches against the U's in the Football League between 1968 and 1990 (D5 L6).
- Oxford United have lost five of their last six away league games against Sheffield United, with the exception a 2-1 win at Bramall Lane in March 1999 under Malcolm Shotton.
- Sheffield United are unbeaten in each of their last seven home league games (W5 D2), winning their last three while also scoring exactly three goals. The Blades last won more consecutively at Bramall Lane, while scoring more than twice in each victory, back in August 1971 (5).
- Oxford United beat Leicester City 2-1 in their most recent Championship away game, and the U's could now win back-to-back league matches on the road for the first time since April 2024 in League One.
- Sheffield United's Chris Wilder has won seven of his 10 league games as a manager against former club Oxford United (D1 L2), only boasting a better win rate in the Football League against Dagenham and Redbridge (80% - 8/10) than the U's (70%), among those he has faced 10+ times.
