"Starting with the hosts, while Oxford might have sprung an upset last season as they clung to their Championship status, Matt Bloomfield's men have an almighty challenge on their hands this time around. Despite snatching a gritty 0-0 stalemate away at title leaders Coventry, the Yellows are still stuck in the drop zone and open Tuesday's showdown sat four points adrift of second-tier safety."
"As for the visitors, while Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a public nightmare, the Canaries have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion on either side of getting the New Year underway. Making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Blackburn, Philippe Clement's side are enjoying a real purple patch and they have skyrocketed themselves out of the drop zone."
Norwich travel to the Kassam Stadium to face Oxford carrying strong recent form and confidence. Norwich beat Blackburn 2-0 and thrashed West Brom 5-0, lifting themselves out of the relegation zone. Norwich lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough but have won each of their other four matches across all competitions. Oxford remain in the drop zone, four points adrift of safety, with only one Championship win in their last eight matches. Oxford have scored just one Championship goal in almost 300 minutes and have been goalless in four of their previous six league games.
