Match Preview
Batt banned for Vale visit Oxford boss Chris Wilder will be without defender Damian Batt for the home clash with Port Vale. Batt picked up his fifth booking of the season during the 5-1 victory over Plymouth on Tuesday and will serve a one-game suspension for the visit of Micky Adams' Vale. Otherwise, Wilder has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the fixture - although he is still without several long-term casualties. Tony Capaldi (back), Tom Craddock (knee), Andy Haworth (ankle) and Anthony Tonkin (hamstring) are all at least a fortnight away from a return to action. Sheffield United loanee Danny Philliskirk has made two substitute appearances since his temporary switch from Bramall Lane, and he will be pushing for a place in the starting line-up. Vale have no fresh problems. Striker Marc Richards (ankle) and midfielder Rob Taylor (thigh) came through the full 90 minutes against Bristol Rovers unscathed after going into the midweek match nursing slight niggles. Ryan Burge (knee), Lewis Haldane (broken leg), Lee Collins (groin) and Andrew Little (knee) remain absent. Manager Micky Adams told the club`s official website: "Marc (Richards) is a bit sore but he got through Tuesday night fine and he has been training all week. "The others are still out. Lee (Collins) is back on the training ground running so he is getting up to full speed in that sense. However, he has not done any real ball work yet."

Match Report
Leven wonder-goal gives Oxford victory Peter Leven struck a sensational second-half winner and Ryan Clarke saved a late penalty as Oxford beat Port Vale 2-1. Ex-Chelsea and Leeds centre back Duberry put the U's in front after 11 minutes when he glanced in Paul McLaren's corner for his first goal since joining Oxford in the summer. With the pace and trickery of Alfie Potter and Robbie Hall, the U's stayed on the front foot. Hall had a low drive saved, and Leven's curling shot just arced beyond the far post. But Port Vale came back into it before half-time and only two brilliant blocks in quick succession by Jake Wright denied Marc Richards. The Valiants did level though after 62 minutes with a neat interpassing move. Doug Loft released Tom Pope on the right and Richards side-footed home his low cross. Two minutes later Leven chipped goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson from 45 yards to put Oxford back in front in style. The keeper was not that far out of his goal but the lob was so inch-perfect that he was helpless to see it float over his reach and in. Yet Vale had an opportunity to salvage a point when Duberry tripped Richards in the box nine minutes from time. Richards picked himself up to take the spot kick himself, but Ryan Clarke dived to his right to pull off a superb save. Clarke made another vital save from substitute Ben Williamson in the last minute as United held on.
