That is absolutely insane goalkeeping and defending. Albion fans sing 'England's number one' and to be fair off the back of this performance, Jason Steele is in with a shout. He keeps out a shot from just inside the box, before rushing out to parry a follow up, and just as you think he's beaten, Baleba clears another shot off the line. Albion have fully merited their five goals this evening, but Jason Steele, and on this occasion Carlos Baleba, are fully to thank for the clean sheet.

Jason Steele has not had a quiet night despite what the scoreline suggests. It's Sibley this time who wallops one from a tight angle and the stopper has to be alert to keep it out and put it behind for a corner.

James Milner plays Brajan Gruda in on goal, he takes it around Ingram, but instead of hitting it right footed, he takes a touch and that allows an Oxford United defender to run in poke it behind for a corner! Huge chance missed.

Incredible Jason Steele save. A mix up at the back sees Placheta have a chance to shoot from close, but Steele pulls off an terrific reflex save. Albion then go down the other end and Diego Gomez races through, but his shot from just inside the area is kept out by Ingram! Electric start to this one.

The hosts get us underway. 1500 or so supporters in the away end. Let's go.

First Half begins.

James Milner leads Albion out, his first competitive start since September 2024.

Fabian, you've made 11 changes to the team tonight... "They deserve to play because they trained well. We have a big squad at the moment. We have a lot of competition, so we want to give them a chance to show that they can prove that we have big competition and that we want to get to the next round. So I think that's the most important reason why we made 11 changes today." The Greek strikers are on the bench today, are they not ready to start? "If they were ready I think that they would've started. But at the moment they're still in a phase where they have to adapt. Let's see if they get some minutes today. They're getting closer, so it's only a question of time." What are you expecting from Oxford? "I think they're a very compact team. They, they know how to defend. They have a big danger when they have set pieces. They have long throw-ins, They have tall players, they're a physical team and they know how to make good transitions. It's a good opportunity for us to grow. It's a good opportunity for us to outplay them. And this will be the challenge today. It won't be easy because they proved this season so far that it's not easy to play against them. But that's the challenge for today."

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
