Colchester United are hoping it will be a case of home, sweet home this afternoon.

The U's take on lowly Walsall at the Weston Homes Community Stadium in League One, on the lookout for their fourth home win on the bounce.

While Colchester's away form has been poor of late, with eight games without a win, the U's have lost only twice all season in front of their own fans.

Colchester manager John Ward said: “We’ll be pleased to come home, as we’ve been strong here.

“We’ve been getting good results and playing good football.

“There was a little on edge in the last game (Swindon) but prior to that we've been pretty strong in finishing it off.

“There’s no edge or pressure in coming home but we know we have to try to win that game."
