Colchester will be hoping to respond after one draw and one loss in their first two league outings.

The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in their last meeting, which took place at the JobServe Community Stadium in February 2021.

A Tommy Smith own goal and a James Perch effort saw Mansfield earn a point on a freezing cold afternoon in Essex.
