Colchester U. travel to take on Northampton Town at Sixfields on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The U's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 22 and win only 5 of the 34 games.
The last time the two teams met at Northampton was just over four years ago, in January 2004, with Colchester U. inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the Cobblers in an (Associate Members) match.
