Burnley Faces Oxford United in Key Championship Clash

Burnley is set to face Oxford United on Tuesday night, aiming to close the gap on Championship leaders Leeds to just two points. Despite having the best defensive record in the league, conceding only nine goals, Burnley has struggled offensively, scoring the fewest goals among the top six teams. Following two consecutive 0-0 draws, manager Scott Parker hopes new signing Marcus Edwards can help enhance Burnley's attacking play. Meanwhile, Oxford United, under new manager Gary Rowett, is looking to solidify its position above the relegation zone after a revitalizing unbeaten streak in league matches. Burnley remains unbeaten at home this season, making this match a significant challenge for Oxford. The historical context favors Burnley, who have lost only two of their last 14 league encounters against Oxford.
