OXFORD United have announced their first pre-season fixtures, which include games against Eastleigh and Coventry City.

Michael Appleton’s men will host the Sky Blues at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday, August 1 – a week before the Sky Bet League Two campaign kicks off.

The U’s have also announced three away games against non-league opposition.

The visit to the Silverlake Stadium on July 25 is the pick of the three, with Eastleigh’s side full of ex-United players, including James Constable, Jack Midson and Yemi Odubade.

They begin on July 11 with the short trip to Didcot Town, before heading off on a pre-season tour overseas.

When United return they will visit Woking on July 21.

Further fixtures will be announced later this summer.
