Town get 2020 under way away against leaders Wycombe Wanderers looking to end both their seven-game winless League One run and their Sky hoodoo (Sky Sports Main Event/Football from 2.45pm).
Freddie Ladapo, Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin were on target as Town comfortably beat Oxford United 3-0 at Portman Road, their first victory over the U’s since February 1999. Ladapo followed up Chaplin’s volley in the 39th minute to give the Blues the lead, then six minutes later Burns hooked home a corner to make it 2-0 and Chaplin made it three with nine minutes left to inflict Oxford’s first league defeat by more than one goal this season.
Town boss Kieran McKenna has given a largely positive rundown of the injury situation ahead of the Christmas fixtures with Janoi Donacien, Luke Woolfenden and Richard Keogh not far away from being fit, Lee Evans and Marcus Harness ready to go following their knee problems and George Edmundson training without discomfort.
