His side have experienced first-hand the unpredictable nature of opponents the Harriers have faced thus far, evident by the 3-2 defeat against a Grays side that had last four on the bounce last time out. A draw with Lewes on the opening day was another nasty shock.

Yet Yates' boys have beaten the likes of Rushden and Torquay already this term, with Oxford another big gun to be shot at this weekend.

What do these three games have in common? They were all at Aggborough. In fact, the Harriers are unbeaten at home this season.

Yates said: "We will not be fazed by Oxford at all. They are a massive club in this league but I have said time and again that if we play to our potential then we can beat anybody.

"We proved when we beat Torquay, another big club in this league, that we can beat the big teams. It is happening across the board. Anybody can beat anybody in this league, so you have to be at your best in every game.

"There will be no runaway champions like Aldershot this year. That title could be won by any number of teams."
