Match Preview
Brewers without veteran Moore Darren Moore will serve a one-match suspension when Burton host Oxford in the FA Cup first round on Sunday. The experienced centre-half collected his fifth yellow card of the season during the league stalemate against Port Vale, and also aggravated a hamstring injury. Moore's absence coincides with the timely return of Tony James from his month on loan at Hereford. James is unlikely to make the starting line-up, but he will provide much-needed defensive cover with Richard Jackson and Paul Boertien (calf) on the injured list. Manager Paul Peschisolido may also be forced to rest the versatile Aaron Webster. Operating in a new role behind the strikers, Webster was a surprise inclusion against Vale on Tuesday night as he had been struggling with a calf injury - and he is back on the treatment table. "Aaron's calf tightened up again and he also got a dead leg, so he is a doubt for Sunday," said Peschisolido. Oxford manager Chris Wilder will ring the changes. Wilder saw his side lose their fourth game in five matches at home to Torquay on Tuesday and is determined to shake up his squad. Simon Clist played 90 minutes for the Us` reserves in midweek on his comeback from injury and could be recalled into the starting line-up. Mark Creighton may also be thrown back into the first-team mix after missing the home defeat to the Gulls through suspension but Jake Wright is unavailable as he serves the second game of a three-match ban. Damien Batt made his return on Tuesday after recovering from ankle ligament damage but his place may be under threat from Ben Purkiss after his own goal set Torquay on their way to three points at the Kassam Stadium. Josh Payne should be okay to start after feeling no ill-effects of an ankle problem, and Alfie Potter and Sam Deering are pushing for starts after recent substitute appearances.

Match Report
Webster goal enough for Albion A late goal by substitute Aaron Webster clinched Burton a 1-0 win against Oxford and a second round tie at home to League Two rivals Chesterfield. Despite nursing a calf strain, Webster came off the bench to head the only goal of the game in the 85th minute. Burton dominated the first half but persistent pressure was firmly resisted by a resolute Oxford defence. Russ Penn, Shaun Harrad and Jacques Maghoma all failed to hit the target for the home team, while a James Collins effort was blocked on the line by Steve Kinniburgh. Top scorer Harrad was denied by a full-length save from Ryan Clarke in the 28th minute and had a goal ruled out for offside in added time at the end of the first half. Chances proved few and far between in the second half, although Oxford showed more in the way of attacking ambition. However, the introduction of Webster proved an inspired move when the substitute rose to power home a header. Tom Craddock had a chance to take the tie to a replay but saw his shot deflected wide.
