Rooted to the foot of the League One table, Sheffield United have yet to win a match this season. They have accumulated one point, coming close to doubling their tally at Millwall last weekend, but were undone by a last gasp penalty.
Up against his former side, Blades boss Chris Wilder will be eager to turn the tables and earn his new club the first three points of the campaign.
Steve Morison's 89th-minute penalty secured a 2-1 victory for Millwall over Sheffield United at The Den. The 32-year-old coolly tucked away the spot-kick after Jack O'Connell's handball in a thrilling climax. Shaun Williams and Stefan Scougall has traded first-half goals. Lions boss Neil Harris made two changes to the side thumped 5-1 at Peterborough, with Williams and David Worrall replacing Shane Ferguson and Jimmy Abdou.
The visitors named Paul Coutts in their starting line-up and were quickest out of the blocks with Mark Duffy's cross narrowly eluding Leon Clarke. But Williams fired the hosts in front on 14 minutes, beating Simon Moore with a low drive after Worrall's corner was not cleared.
United hit back just seven minutes later as Jordan Archer failed to keep out Scougall's tame shot. Lee Gregory wasted a great chance to restore the lead after the break, the striker raced clear on goal but was denied by Moore's outstretched left hand. Gregory's miss did not prove decisive though, as Morison kept his cool to send Moore the wrong way from the spot and earn the Lions a dramatic victory.
Midfielder John Fleck could return to action as Sheffield United chase their first league win of the season against Oxford. Fleck, a summer signing from Coventry, missed last week's defeat at Millwall due to a groin strain but boss Chris Wilder expects him to be fit.
Stefan Scougall scored for the Blades at Millwall after stepping in for Fleck and Wilder must decide whether to accommodate both players as he ponders changes. Striker Marc McNulty and winger Harry Chapman are still waiting for their first starts, while Simon Moore is likely to continue in goal in place of George Long following his arrival last week from Cardiff.
