Colchester United vs. Luton Town

Layer Road

Colchester v Luton

Colchester who are in a run of 9 straight home wins will be without captain Karl Duguid.

The midfielder sustained an injured eye from a high boot in Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Preston.

Johnnie Jackson is his likely replacement.

Striker Chris Iwelumo is also doubtful after coming off at half-time with an injury. Jamie Guy or on-loan Hogan Ephraim could start. Top scorer Jamie Cureton is in goal scoring form and is the man to stop.

Luton boss Mike Newell said he may stick with the side which beat Coventry.

On-loan Portsmouth goalkeeper Dean Kiely has signed for another month and will start.

But Newell believes that this match is a little early for Sol Davies as he continues to gain fitness.



Colchester United Team News:

Newell is likely to go with the same sixteen as Satyrday as there are no new injuries.

Player to watch: Leon Barnett

Looked solid as a midfielder on Saturday, but more likely to be needed to keep Cureton in check.

Luton Town Team News:

Iwelumo and Duguid are unlikely to play through injury.

Player to watch: Jamie Cureton

Scoring regularly and needs to be strongly marked for the whole game.

Match Prediction:

Colchester 1-1 Luton. Time for Colchester's run to end.

Next Fixtures:

Friday 29 December 7-45 pm Birmingham City away LIVE on Sky.
