Team News: One change for Oxford United

Oxford United caretaker manager Mickey Lewis has made one change to his side's starting lineup for tonight's visit to Rodney Parade.

Josh Ruffels comes in for the U's in place of David Connolly, while Michael Reynes misses out after failing to recover from a hip injury.

Opponents Newport County have been boosted by the return of defender Ismail Yakubu, as they look to get their playoff charge back on track.

The Exiles have gone six games without tasting victory.

Newport Country: Parish, Yakubu, Anthony, Pipe, Chapman, Minshull, Zebroski, Willmott, Burge, Sandell, Howe Subs: Porter, Crow, Jeffers, Jackson, Naylor, Jolley, Thompson
