Here's all you need to know about John McGreal's side...
1. Manager
John McGreal has been in charge of Colchester since May 2016. He was initially caretaker before taking up the role permanently. The U's have finished 13th, 8th and 6th in his three full seasons.
2. League position
Colchester were side-by-side with the Cobblers at the time of the suspension in March, both on 58 points, but their superior goal difference - by just one goal - saw them finish one place higher.
3. Form before lockdown
The U's were a little up and down since the turn of the year. They won away to Salford and Carlisle before lockdown but were beaten at home by Cheltenham and Grimsby.
4. Top scorer and leading assister
Former Lincoln man Theo Robinson tops the scoring charts with 11 league goals this season. He also has three assists, two fewer than top creative men Cohen Bramall and Frank Nouble.
