There can never be a better definition of a mismatch than this game; Oxford are struggling down there in League One, with just five points in the opening nine matches and are in the drop zone already, while the League Cup holders, Manchester City are top contenders for the Premier League title up there and come from a good win after suffering only their first loss of the season in the Champions League. Oxford are on a three game winless streak as they head to this game while they have picked clean sheets in their opening two wins in the League Cup, but playing Newport and Coventry City in the earlier rounds is nothing compared to the challenge ahead of them. Oxford have failed to win eight of their last 12 competitive matches, losing six. They have just one clean sheet in the last five home matches and have lost three of the five. They face City, who have scored 12 times in the last five matches, and with three clean sheets in their last four away matches. City have won 12 of their last 15 away matches in all competitions, losing two and drawing once. They have not lost any of their last six League Cup games.
