Oxford United
All eyes will be on LNER stadium when Lincoln City and Oxford United face each other on Saturday afternoon. The Imps are eager to escape the relegation zone, but they will have a mountain to climb in their first game of the year. Chris Maguire, who found the net in the Boxing Day loss to MK Dons, is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. The Yellows, on the other hand, are eyeing promotion the Championship.
Oxford United played out a 1-1 draw with Cheltenham Town in their last league fixture, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into victory. Even though Spanish midfielder Gorrin misses the match with injury, away win should be considered as Oxford United are more of a team than Lincoln City. In the first half of the season the Yellows defeated the Imps 3-1 at Kassam Stadium.
Highlighted Player (Liam Bridcutt ):
Liam Robert Bridcutt is a professional footballer who plays for Lincoln City as a defensive midfielder. Born in Reading, England on May 8, 1989, Bridcutt is a product of the Chelsea football academy, but he did not see any game action for the Blues at senior level. After ending his loan spells with Yeovil Town, Watford, and Stockport County, the 175-cm footballer signed a five-month contract with Brighton where he established himself as a first-team regular.
After making 132 appearances in the league for the Seagulls, Liam Bridcutt moved to Sunderland in the winter of 2014. He played for the likes of Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Bolton Wanderers as well before joining Lincoln City in January, 2020.
His main position is defensive midfield, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. The Lincoln City player has a dual citizenship (Scotland/England), and it has to be noted that he has two caps with the Scotland national team.
Highlighted Team (Oxford United):
Oxford United are one of the oldest clubs in the League One as they were founded back in 1893. However, Oxford United adopted their current name 67 years later and have been playing under it ever since.
Over the years the Yellows have built a great rivalry with Swindon Town and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two sides. Oxford United play home matches at Kassam Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 12,500. The stadium was built in 1997 and has been Oxford United’s home ground ever since. The Boys from Up the Hill are well known for their yellow and blue colours, but they play their away games in dark blue (with a little yellow) or black kits.
Oxford’s player with the most league appearances is John Shuker, playing 478 games for the club from 1962 to 1977. On the other hand, Jim Magilton is the club’s most capped player in internationals, playing 18 games for Northern Ireland.
