Macclesfield prepare to entertain Oxford United at Moss Rose on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Silkmen are clearly on top, beating their opponents 3 times from 5 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Rose was just last season, in October 2004, the Silkmen carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.
