Match Analysis

Sunderland enter this FA Cup tie as strong favourites against Oxford United. Oxford are struggling for form, with just one win in their last five and three matches without scoring. Sunderland, while inconsistent in the Premier League, have a clear edge in quality and have dominated the head-to-head history. Expect Sunderland to control the match, limit Oxford's chances, and progress with a professional, low-scoring win.
