Oxford United will start and finish next season at home after the fixtures for Sky Bet League One were unveiled this morning.

Michael Appleton's side kick-off on August 6 against Chesterfield at the Kassam Stadium, where they will wrap up the campaign against Shrewsbury Town on April 30.

The eagerly-awaited derbies see Swindon Town visit on September 10, before the U's make the return trip to Wiltshire on February 4.

They have back-to-back home games over Christmas, with Northampton Town's short trip on Boxing Day followed by Walsall on New Year's Eve.

Many of United's away games at the biggest sides in the division come early in the season.

They visit Chris Wilder's Sheffield United before the end of August, while the Yellow Army are due to travel to MK Dons, Bolton Wanderers and Coventry City before mid-October.

The furthest journey of the season, Fleetwood Town, is also the club's first away midweek league fixture, on August 16.

The draw for the first round of the EFL Cup will take place at 1pm today, with the fixture scheduled for the week commencing August 8.
