Championship: Derby County v Oxford United rearranged for TV

The Yellows find themselves in a rich vein of form, having gone four league matches unbeaten, including three wins and a draw.

Victories against West Bromwich Albion, Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers have helped to raise fans’ spirits amid the ongoing relegation battle.

A last-minute penalty stopped the winning run being extended to four in United’s latest game, which saw the team take on Charlton Athletic at the Kassam Stadium last weekend.
