PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v OXFORD (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

SCOTT Nicholls makes his home debut for Plymouth tonight (Saturday) as the Gladiators face his former club Oxford at the Coliseum.

The Cheetahs edged a close encounter between the sides at Cowley on Wednesday and they have a narrow four-point advantage for the aggregate point, and they head into the meeting still fourth in the Cab Direct Championship table.

Plymouth are without their top scorer from that meeting, Nicolai Klindt, due to a Polish commitment, and Tobias Thomsen comes in to guest, but Lasse Fredriksen is back after missing the away fixture. Tom Spencer comes in at No.7 with Arran Butcher injured.

Oxford are also forced into changes as Paul Starke and Zaine Kennedy step in for Jonas Knudsen (European U24 duty) and Mitch McDiarmid (injured), with rider replacement for the still sidelined Jordan Jenkins. Francis Gusts returns at reserve,

PLYMOUTH: Scott Nicholls, Tobias Thomsen, Lasse Fredriksen, Joe Thompson, Ben Barker, Alfie Bowtell, Tom Spencer.

OXFORD: Sam Masters, Paul Starke, Jordan Jenkins r/r, Zaine Kennedy, Cameron Heeps, Francis Gusts, Luke Killeen, Darryl Ritchings (no.8).

SCB Referee: Willie Dishington
