Pick of the stats: Oxford United v Sunderland

Oxford United will be seeking safety from relegation against fourth placed Sunderland when they face each other on Saturday (15:00 BST).

The U's are currently three points above the relegation zone and could see themselves out of danger if they take victory against the Black Cats.

While facing a top team may seem like a daunting task for a team fighting for survival, their visitors have not been at their best as of late and are winless across their past four league games (D1 L3).

Having already secured their spot, Sunderland's eyes are firmly on the play-offs ahead and have been giving their top players a breather before their promotion hunt begins again in May - however with boss Regis Le Bris keen to gather momentum, perhaps Oxford won't fare so lucky.
