LiveSoccerTV is your one-stop place for facts, stats, and viewing info for this David vs Goliath League Cup clash between Oxford United and Man City on September 25.

After a horrendous start the new season, Oxford United could not have faced a tougher opponent in the League Cup. The third-tier side has made it into the third round of the English League Cup but will face Man City.

And this David vs Goliath clash comes at an awful time for the home side. At the moment, they are struggling in League One, losing six of their nine games. In all competitions, they have won only four times this season and will have to overcome the defending Premier League and League Cup giant for a fifth victory.

To make things worse for Oxford, they will be without a number of key names for this cup game. Marcus Browne and Jamie Mackie remain on the sidelines while Samir Carruthers and Simon Eastwood are doubts for Tuesday's tie.

As for Guardiola's side, the Spaniard is likely to rotate his squad to hand minutes to players in need. The likes of Danilo and Otamendi could feature, while Riyad Mahrez is in contention for a start after his brace in the 5-0 win over Cardiff.

Match facts
