Matt Bloomfield is in talks to become Oxford United manager and is the clear favourite to replace Gary Rowett, who was sacked before Christmas. Craig Short remains interim boss and will lead the team for the FA Cup third-round tie at MK Dons. Rowett's dismissal followed a 1-0 defeat at Charlton on 20 December that left Oxford second from bottom, above only Norwich and Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield Wednesday have been docked 18 points after entering administration and are cut adrift, while Oxford have one game in hand after a postponed match at Sheffield United.
