Colchester United travel to Sixfields Stadium tonight, where they will face Northampton Town.

The Cobblers earned a creditable draw at Leicester City last weekend and Stuart Gray will be looking to add to it.

Cobbler’s boss Gray has a thread-bare squad due to a number of injuries.
Ex-U’s man Luke Guttridge (knee), Colin Larkin (thigh), Adebayo Akinfenwa (calf) and Liam Davis are all absent.
Player to watch: Giles Coke
Coke, 22, is key part of The Cobblers team and will be a danger against the U’s.
Colchester United Team News:
U`s chief Lambert will be without Steven Gillespie (hamstring), who limped off against Carlisle.
