Gary Hart has been handed only his third start of the season as Albion chase a win at Colchester today.

Hart, who has come off the bench and helped set up goals in the last two games, replaces Craig Davies up front at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

It is the only change to the side which started Saturday's home defeat by Swindon.

Colin Hawkins is on the bench, having not featured other than as an unused substitute since before Christmas.

We will have regular updates from here at Colchester. Follow the Live Football header to access the action.
