Team News: Colchester United, Preston North End both unchanged for crucial clash

Colchester United have not made changes ahead of their crucial League One clash against high-flying Preston North End at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

The U's, 22nd in the table and a point from safety, will need to better the results of Notts County and Crawley Town to have a chance of staying up.

Meanwhile, Preston manager Simon Grayson has also named an unchanged side from last Saturday's 3-0 win over Swindon Town.

The Lilywhites, who will seal a return to Championship for the first time since 2011 by winning or matching MK Dons's result, are on a 19-match unbeaten run.
