Ian Bogie could play an unchanged side today, but the signing of Darren Williams today could change minds late on.
Gateshead, who managed to keep their first clean sheet midweek against Rushden and Diamonds, will hope to keep a second this afternoon.
Oxford meanwhile are in good form, but their shock defeat midweek will test the players, and whether they can bounce back.
Likely Starting XI: Farman, Baxter, Robinson, Curtis, Swailes, Gate, Turnbull, Francis, Armstrong, One, Mackay. Subs: Provett, Williams, Harwood, Phillips, Richardson.
