Colchester U. prepare to entertain Leicester City at Weston Homes Community Stadium on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The U's have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Weston Homes Community Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
