AFC Bournemouth meet the Us at Dean Court on Wednesday night under the lights, with more than 5,000 fans set to pack into the ground for the National League Southern Premier Division clash.
It is second hosts fifth, with the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/?ref=au) as yet unbeaten in tier three, their first campaign at that level, winning five and drawing twice.
Oxford have won three, lost two and drawn two so far this term, and come into the game at the Vitality Stadium off the back of a penalty shootout win in the FA Cup over fellow tier three side Hashtag United.
Most recently in the league, Oxford defeated Billericay Town 10-0, after they earned a point against Hashtag 1-1 the week before.

Bleazard’s side, meanwhile, smashed seventh tier Millbrook 11-0 on Sunday to book their spot in the second round of the FA Cup.
That followed a 1-0 win over QPR in the National League Cup and a 0-0 draw at Plymouth Argyle in the league.
Bournemouth’s two draws in the league this term have come against Devonian sides, the other saw them rescue a late point against Exeter, while they remain unbeaten in more than two seasons in league games.
Looking ahead to the visit of Oxford and discussing how they are preparing for the game, boss Bleazard told the Daily Echo: “I think I've tried to keep it as normal as possible.
“As a player, I know that if you change too much just because you're at a different venue or those different attendances, you can always then end up putting pressure on the team. So training is normal, match day routine is normal.

“But we respect the opposition. We respect every opposition in this league.
“But I think the biggest thing is we back ourselves, not from an arrogance point of view, it's the fact that we back our prep work from a staff point of view.
“We back what we put into training and we back the girls to deliver it. And I think we've got our game plan going into Wednesday, which we're really looking forward to.
“And like I said, we respect the opposition, but we know that if we can get it right on the night, then we should win the game.”
AFC Bournemouth host Oxford United at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday, October 29, kick off at 7.45pm.
