Match Facts
After their 3-2 win in October, Colchester could record their first Football League double over Grimsby since 1979-80.
Grimsby have won two of their last three league trips to Colchester (L1), and could win back-to-back such visits for the first time in the Football League.
Colchester United have won just one of their last eight home league games (D4 L3), both scoring and conceding in each of the last seven matches in that sequence.
Grimsby Town have lost just three of their last 14 league games played on a Tuesday (W6 D5), though one of those losses did come during their last such match, a 1-0 away defeat to Harrogate Town.
